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.

Fonts

Freetype2 now includes its own autohinter for anti-aliased fonts that look as good as those you find on Windows or Mac. As far as TTF fonts go, if you already have Windows installed on the PC (which is usually the case for newbies), then there's usually an option in the Font Configuation panel to import fonts from the MS partition. If not, it's a relatively easy matter to import them using the KDE Font Import dialog.
