New to Linux
 

Gonna try and switch to a lixun distro.... but want to make sure I can still do these:

Torrenting
Internet
Tether with my droid to be abel to play PS3

Also my wife loves little games like cards, bejewled etc.. I heard linux has a lot of free games?

Which distros would work best???

Being able to use the Internet and run torrents are pretty basic requirements...any Linux distribution can do those things.

• Torrenting: yes
• Internet: yes
• Tether with my droid to be abel to play PS3: dunno, but maybe
• cards, bejewled: yes, yes but I only play Bejeweled online
• free games: yes, a lot

I think Ubuntu works pretty good, but there are many others worth trying. Most Linux distros are free to use and distribute, so it costs you nothing to try them. Try these places to help you choose.
