I haven't tried using linux yet, but they say when it comes to stability, linux is more stable than windows.

I'm using windows now, and I'm not only using it for gaming Very Happy Rolling Eyes

I think linspire is a good linux system for noobs, but linspire loses a lot of linux stability because it's a pretty heavy OS.

You don't need to know jack chit about commands, that's an urban myth Smile

Linux is alot like windows, with a few bells and whistles added and removed.

This is what I hate ,everybody is scared of that big dark thing called the command line enviorment (CLI) ,but why?why are people who know the alphabet scared of writing a few words and numbers?

I`ll never understand these thing ,why are people afraid to learn something.

You won`t have a nice shiny graphical user interface (GUI) if your windows stopes working ,what will you do then?call an "expert" ,that`s what everyone does.

I don`t say that everybody should use unix based Operating System (OS) ,but I don`t like people saying what a bad thing is the evil CLI ,and that everything should be graphic and easy.Sure there are places where user friendlynes is important ,but there are places when the best think is to be non-user friendly.

DjDarkman, people are enticed by graphics, and the eye is attracted to whiter areas, so a black command line is naturally not something people like to look at.

People are different, and some people just don't like typing. You don't need to type commands if you don't want to, and you shouldn't hate people who like different things from yourself. Sure, it's easier to type commands than click about, but it's your right as the person owning the OS and computer to do as you wish.

I think Windows is good for gaming. Linux would be very good for servers. =)

In my opinion, Windows is great for two things:

-Gaming
-Crashing

Other than that, I run Linux for IRC/AIM/MSN, programming, web design, internet browsing, and just about everything else.

I prefer just about any Debian-based distribution such as anything in the Ubuntu family (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu), although they are all the same and you can turn them into each other with an apt-get command, or MEPIS, which is what I currently run.
