Well, /hr/, since my pc is fuxxored, I can't seem to display either zip or cgi (or I would've gone to /g/ or /r/, perhaps you can help me. As previously stated, my pc is fucked. I'm also getting tired of Windows, so what does /hr/ recommend for a new operating system? I'm leaning towards Fedora Linux, but I'm still up in the air.

I would recommend Kubuntu. Easy to use, and lots of eye-candy. I would change the default file manager to Konqueror though...

What spec is your PC?

No need to brace. Mac OSX IS a option.

I've been running Fedora 4 for couple years on a relatively old piece of hardware it is pretty light operating system wise and comes with a number of decent editors - including GIMP. For optimal speed I recommend using the Gnome environment as it's lighter and use yum if you need to install any new packages.

If your computer's pretty low-end (like 3 or 4 years old) try Xubuntu. It'll run faster than Windows 98. Otherwise, take a look at Ubuntu and Kubuntu screenshots and see which you like best.

A OPTION.

Maybe so. I've seen it installed & run on a non-Apple laptop.

Failed grammar Nazi. The word "run" doesn't change in this situation, and is in the same tense as the word "installed". A person performed the "run" action on "it".

"Maybe so. I've seen it installed & (I've seen it) run (by another individual) on a non-Apple laptop."

"I've seen it installed on a non-Apple laptop."
"I've seen it run on a non-Apple laptop."

I use Ubuntu 7.10 on a Compaq NX 6310 laptop, and it works great. First time using Linux, but it all works great, and is easy to use. I'd recommend at least trying it. The only thing I've found I have trouble with, is at first shutdown didn't work(it went through the steps, but then stopped. Almost like old ITS NOW SAFE TO SHUT OFF YOUR COMPUTER. EVEN THOUGH THATS WHAT YOU JUST DID. BUT NOW YOU CAN DO IT SAFELY! thing on Windows). That got patched though. Or started working on the 40th restart, dun remember(it scans something on the 40th, dunno what).

So far, all I do is:
Browse internets
Use Open Office
Use my iPod as an external HDD
Read .pdf files
Use Wine to play Furcadia(stfu, i play just to play with friends)

for easy transition between windows and linux, try openSuse. Bit more stable that Fedora, and since SuSe and KDE worked together back in the day, the GUI integration is pretty solid.

OpenSUSE is quite nice, but I've always found it a PITA to setup the Nvidia drivers. The Kubuntu restricted driver installer worked first go.

Have I mentioned how well the Compiz 3D accelerated desktop works?

Well I've been in the same situation and chose Ubuntu.
I've been very happy with it, but the Linux ATI-Drivers pretty much suck. So it's really better if you have a NVidia card.

I also tested Kubuntu but it didn't run as smooth as Ubuntu and I couldn't even get Pidgin to work correctly in it. So I stayed with Ubuntu 7.10

Using Ubuntu Studio 7.10 here. I found it to be an easier install than the standard Ubuntu.
