I'd like to try the Linux operating system but I don't know which distribution to choose. Does anyone have any advice on this?
Well, small bandwidth, no CDs, and a dying CD drive so I think the HDD install is my best bet. Thanks for the advice. Can you recommend some good documentation as to installation procedures for Linux?
Yes, that is with a program called Wubi or something, but these days they don't recommend doing that since it can destroy your Windows more easily (I'm just saying what I've read on the forums).
380Kbps for 20 dollars? Amazing
Not everyone on the forum lives in the US of A and has access to that kind of thingwith AT&T. Does anyone remember NETZERO?
Unity is crap. I won't use it and if Canonical tries to shove it down my throat I'll probably switch to Arch even though I'm lazy and like Ubuntu. You can upgrade from 10.10 Maverick to 11.04 later if you want with the Software Update utility.
I pretty much take an horrible default interface for granted nowadays, given that I seem to have much different tastes than much of the population. You, jimblah, certainly should have no trouble getting your choice of GUI components from the repositories and setting them up. The OP might have a bit more trouble (seeing as it takes time to get used to a new OS), but first let him see if he finds the interface as bad as we do.
