The thing to remember is that which ever Linux system you pick you have to forget everything you have learned about Microsoft OS, at the moment I am a bit confused and struggling because I have only known MS OS. I chose UMBUNTU and downloaded from a disc from the on line Linux shop, the disc is useful as it gives you choise to make a partitision automaticly, to run it using XP or Vista as a vertial machine. If you partision a drive and download it will download the drivers for your softare and a loads of programs and games, not the first person Call of Duty type of game. The disc was only £2-50 ish including P&P. Then in the start up pages it will give you the choice to ether boot XP or Ubuntu, dont in my opinion dump XP until you have mastered Ubuntu or what ever Linux OS you have chosen. I am thinking of installing Memphis 7.0 on my other pc and compare the two once I have mastered Ubuntu
