Linux help?? - Copper - 06-16-2008 Trying to figure this out. Got a second hand laptop and microsoft want to charge me £160 to use Vista on it which I already paid over £300 for so Im looking to use linux... being a total technophobe how do I go about getting Linux and how do I set it up etc. Any help appreciated. RE: Linux help?? - Stryker - 06-18-2008 Bootie http://www.ubuntu.com/ There are other versions but not all are free. Enjoy Paul RE: Linux help?? - Copper - 06-18-2008 Yeah I actually downloaded Ubuntu... its surprisingly good... I was shocked!! RE: Linux help?? - raz_atoth - 06-19-2008 Shane,you can take a peak here for various Linux distros: http://distrowatch.com/ But as Stryker said,go for Ubuntu.That's what i've been playing with for more than a year You might also wanna try KUbuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/ It's the same with Ubuntu,with the differance that it's using KDE as it's GUI.Much better looking if you ask me ;)
