Linux 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.

no OS is what i would call 'ready to use' out of the box. i find the time it takes to hack through the MS registry and coax windows into a usable OS is far longer then apt-getting a debian desktop into usablility. mandrake is a good desktop OS also but again takes a lot of work to be the way i like it. Mac OS X is great, and i would prolly use it if i could afford a nice Mac. (well up untill the switch to intell that is) havent really dabled with the Beos or Zeta or amiga stuff but they look nice.

debian is by far the shortest route from install to desktop for me.
