| 407913 | 2005-11-26 08:03:00 | Most complete and easy to use distro is Ubuntu 5.10 Second best is Xandros - is actually the easiest of them all, but the free version has some limitations, like 4x CD writing. |

| 407914 | 2005-11-26 08:16:00 | Knoppix.. run the live CD first... give you a chance to see if you like it before you install Other live CDs include Mepis, another (I have heard) good distro.. sorry no actual knowledge of Mepis |

| 407915 | 2005-11-26 08:17:00 | Knoppix runs straight off the CD so theres no need to worry about formatiing the HDD. Just dont try to write to a NTFS partition using Linux :angry Ha ha very funny |

| 407920 | 2005-11-26 11:36:00 | Which would be the best version of Linux to install (bootable) and cut my teeth on ? Mepis would be my choice. |

| 407921 | 2005-11-26 21:36:00 | This question has to be rather common (FAQ Jen :eek: ) It is reasonable to expect that you cannot go MS cold turkey so a dual boot is probably the best option . As to the best Linux distro for your requirements, thats for you to decide; we can but quide you . Certainly the live cd's are great to play with but I prefer a "real" Linux distro (only joking off course :) ) As mentioned before Xandros is a very good distro and if you buy the better version (can't remember its branding), you get Crossover Office which allows you to run certain Windows applications . To me it has the best File Manager of any Linux distro but a file manager is only one part of the whole package . I like SuSE which is very professional looking . It includes a YaST tool which is sort of a Control Panel . But certainly review some of the live cd's: knoppix, Simply Mepis . There is a live version of SuSE but unusually for a Live CD it asks you a number of questions before you can run it . Enjoy! |
