@cwarchc That sounds interesting can you give a bit more info (not too technical) I have heard of Linux but know nothing about it.
Hi JHC,
What do you want to know?
I will say that I'm NOT a computer geek
As a general view:
Linux a few years ago was for geeks/nerds, as you had to program in something called "command line" (you still can do, and it's quite interesting:banana:
However that later distributions (distro) have become much more user friendly
They are open source, so you can get a version for free. I bought a copy, pre-loaded on a usb stick, for a couple of £'s
On most of them you can run from a cd, or usb stick (without installing it) to see if you like it
It is different from ms windows, however it's easy to learn, uses a graphic user interface (like windows)
The software available is, mostly open source (read free) and readily available and is generally compatible with ms products (if you need it)
It's very stable, I haven't had a system crash since I installed it, about 18 months ago.
It's very good on older systems, and is pretty much plug and play
If you would like anything else drop me a pm?
ps. the version I'm using is called Linux Mint, but there are 100's of different ones.
This one has good suport, and has a good interface
I'm sold on it.
Don't have to give my money to the man
