yiip yip.. 馃槃
working on gettin' on that Linux train this week..

gonna start with Zorin OS, from what i've seen and heard, for a to-be ex Windows user, it's a pretty good place to begin..

hopefully i can get most of the apps i use to work buut we'll figure that out when we get there.. 馃槄

@qaris one thing I recommend everybody: try with a live CD first. This way you get a feel of the final thing without installing, and also and idea of the HW comaptibility.

@mdione

thanks for the heads-up.. 馃檪
Zorin actually comes with a TRY option even before installation, you use the OS off the USB drive to test it out which i thought is pretty neat.. 馃槃

@qaris @mdione You are both talking about the same thing, just a different storage medium 馃槈

Another distro that's recommended for Windows users is Linux Mint Cinnamon
