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.

Point 11 and 12 should be among the first points, if not the first. Whenever someone asks me if they can run linux I ask them what kind of software they are using in Windows and if they can do without any of it. It is the most important thing to most people, being able to do what they got the computer for.
Why switch to something that will cripple the computer? Because it's free as in speech? Most people just don't think that's important. It's the sad truth.
