With the exception of MacOSX, UNIX is hard to get into, but Linux is a joke.
Debian, Xandros, Ubuntu, SUSE are all very easy to set up and use, easier than windows in some cases.
The idea that you need to use the command line to use Linux is just ridiculous. Just stay away from the hardcore geek distros like slackware, and you'll be fine.
I used Mandrake, and it wasnt hard to use, I hated the interface. Part of that was the unfamiliarity, but every piece of software had a half-assed and incomplete clone of whatever's the big shot on Windows. Look at GIMP, its miserable.
Oh, also, I just got a digital camera at the time, and the OS wouldnt recognize my camera, and I couldnt figure out how to install and run the necessary stuff. It was stupid.
Are you happy now? You put me out of a job. Back to the crack rocks for me.Quote:
