For anyone wanting to painlessly dip their toe into Linux I can heartily recommend Xandros, the latest open circulation version of which is now available as a free download. I've been using Xandros 2 for a while and have been very impressed. This latest version is even more impressive. I've installed it on three computers: my NF7-based 'play' system listed below (two hard drives, dual boot), an Aopen s661FXm PIV system with integrated everything and an old Compaq Deskpro EN SFF with 500mhz PIII. In each case the installation was totally painless with all hardware being correctly identified and drivers loaded. It runs flawlessly on all three computers. A very real alternative to Windows.
Just a thought for anyone thinking about trying Linux.
