I use Kubuntu at home on a dual boot computer. It's running on a seven year old computer that I had XP on. I like the KDE destop of Kubuntu. I've used the GNOME desktop, but I'm more comfortable with KDE. I was using Firefox and Thuderbird on Windows and successfully transfered all my settings in those two apps over to Linux. I'm soooo happy with the reduced boot time compared to that inferior MS OS. Plus, my mail is downloaded so much faster no.

Even I used Kubuntu,Its really awesome distri with good look and feel, But just give PCLINUXOS a try, i liked it because of its very high hardware support and user friendly design(Looks almost like Xp), i used on my pentium II @400 MHZ,256 MB ram,I used many Linux ,Most of them either fail to detect my graphics card,sound card ... but PCLINUXOS detected all without problem, and you get all the softwares preinstalled and its only consumes 2.4 Gb with so many softwares.and it even has all GCC ,make and other compilers,so we can execute ./make and other command and install softwares which was not possible in ubuntu ,Kubuntu or other Ubuntu Distri.

So why dont you give PCLINUXOS A TRY

I've been a friend of Fedora almost since it's inception; I started with Core3, current is Fedora10. They have come a long way, and is still probably the most cutting-edge OS available anywhere at any price. Their best feature in my opinion, is SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) which is an advanced firrewall system which basically places a shell, or virtual firewall, around every single program, script and application on your system... Is that cool, or what?

The good thing about Fedora is that even though it comes complete with over 3.8 GBs of software, you only install what you want or need. You get server software for webservers, network servers, file servers, application servers, and the fastest gowing trend in business desktops, virtualization; meaning that you can create guest domains that run entirely separate OS's for whatever purpose you desire. For example:

Say you have a current dual core with 2Gig CPU and 2 GBs of ram... You can set your main desktop up as a server platform, then create guest domains for 1)your personal webserver, 2)your main workstation 3)and a domain to run either Win2K, Win XP or Vista for your MS applications, each pulling 512 MBs of RAM. Linux makes this possible with your choice of KVM, Xen or Qemu, all open-sosurce programs.

Talk about cutting-edge.... But it doesn't stop there! You have your choice of Gnome OR KDE (the latter is generally preferred on the business desktop, but not always), several desktop managers and many variations of email, browser and other cool and powerful "FREE" business software.

Before I go any further, I need to also tell you that even though Fedora is not directly owned by Redhat, they are supported and promoted by Redhat. and whatever cutting-edge developments are in Fedora will eventually make their way into Redhat. With that thought in mind, my personal recommendation is to use not Fedora10 unless you are a die-hard born-again geek. But rather, start off with an older version that no longer has any known bugs. Since Fedora is released about twice a year, I would recommend Fedora Core8 at this time, get used to Fedora and it's features, then progress slowly into the newer versions.

You can download Fedora for FREE @ http://fedoraproject.org

Hope this helps someone. Thanks in advance... Long Live Open-Source!

if you are beginner of LINUX,surely you should go with UBUNTU (a version of LINUX for beginner),it will be best for you if you are switching from WINDOWS.

For my desktop machine I a very happy with PCLOS and it is the easiest to admin of any distro I have used. If you are new to Linux, try installing Browser Linux on a thumb drive for your laptop. You can stay safe from the bad guys while surfing the Internet and not even install it.

I ran across this thread again tonight and decided to post an update. I switched to Linux Mint for a few months, but I am back on PCLinuxOS again and very happy I came back. It seems Adobe made some updates and I tried for weeks to get my browser (Firefox) to work with it and succeeded in getting my entire computer in a tangled up mess, so I went back to the newes version of PCLinuxOS and had it running smoothly in 30 minutes or less. What a relief.
