If you've heard about Linux and feel like giving it a go or if you want to try Linux but you're too afraid it'll shew up your computer, this article is for you. Read it, feel free to take what you need and ignore the rest. This is not a tutorial, it's a README-FIRST-like article. It should help you to take that first dive.

Linspire is the best here because of being able to buy fonts
Oh yeah!
Don't you think ALTLinux is better because you can:
apt-get install ms-fonts-ttf
and more, there are another dozen of packages with fonts.
2) Printer support and other peripherals are still spotty requireing jumping through hoops to get to work and even then they never work quite right. Even more impossible to get to work through SAMBA.
Printer support was extremely easy for me; scanner is some tougher; samba is yes, PITA.
3) Still there is no standard media player for the 'net that's easy and legal.
I use MPlayer and amaroK and they are fully legal in my country. And yet to see file mplayer don't play.
