| 1438319 | 2017-08-19 01:32:00 | Another way to try linux is in a virtual machine, works really well in Virtualbox and there's no need for a flash drive. I find it kind of trippy on my dual screen setup to have windows 10 on one and Linux MINT on the other looking like 2 different PCs. Anyway it's an option you can easily try on top of windows if you prefer. |

The CD or USB will boot and load into RAM, and can be used as is. You can install to your hard drive in a separate partition, or to an existing Windows partition. I use Fatdog64 all the time. No worry about virus or malware, and unlike Windows it boots in seconds and is ready for work, no maintenance. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1438321 | 2017-08-19 20:52:00 | Awesome, thanks people, I have a spare HDD already, not huge, took it out a while ago as it was a bit small for the current setup. I can use that. Mint sounds like it has the most votes so far.... |

| 1438322 | 2017-08-19 21:26:00 | Mint is probably the easiest to learn. I had it on a spare desktop hooked up to the TV and even my technophobe SWMBO could work it | gary67 (56) | ||
