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.

It's not just that the OSS desktop is free (and virus-free), simple and easy to use, bedrock stable, runs also on old hardware, and is progressing rapidly. As far as I'm concerned, it's all about the looks. My main reason to switch to the Open Source desktop was that it looks so much better than any of the commercial alternatives. No-one seems to use the default settings, everyone tweaks their desktop to match their personal taste. OSS desktops are just so unbelievably cool... :-)
