yeah? ok maybe I'll try it then (am still quite cautious, maybe that's the thing coming out of windows - u don't trust anything!)
any particular version of debian u can recomend??
purely cuz I like the sound of debian and it seems to be the one that most music peoples refer to when they talk about the latest developments
Any version of Débian? Try Débian testing wich is curently called Sarge and will be the next stable (hopefully in september : )
I'm kind of a newbie myself and enjoy linux to the full in testing. You can see Débian running on Knopppix live cd and some other too. Don't forget to make at least three partition one for / everything programms and config, /home your settings documents and files, /swap a way to accelerate your pc if your short on Ram. Make it two times your Ram up to 256M won't see so much of a différence over 256 M Ram.
