Hi everyone,
Please, forgive my apparent ignorance; I am totally new to Linux.
A brief history: I am completely disenchanted with Microsoft in
general and Windows in particular, since it (or they) have
crashed 2 of my computers in Win XP. I am not interested
in debating the merits or demerits of Windows or
Microsoft.
As a result I am moving completely away from Windows and
Microsoft and towards Linux. Alas, however, I am utterly
ignorant vis-a-vis Linux, and I need to ask a question
if I may:
(1) Given the foregoing stated lack of competence, which Linux
distribution would be best to utilize, ie, which would offer the
smallest learning curve for now. I have just ordered Linux Mint 11
on DVD from Linux on-disk.com, but I have no qualms about
ordering something else also if this is too advanced for me.
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
