During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

"Sure, I could use Apt-get to install everything, but what happens if I forget to pay my internet bill?"
as you may know with apt-get u can choose which program(s) u wanna install and apt-get fixes any dependencies involved.
The easiest way is to install new fresh Linux is to install knoppix on the HD and then synaptec (gui for apt-get).
