wants badly to migrate to linux
 

i don't want a windows partition, i want an easy downloadable, easy setup linux distribution,and, since i'm downloading to my wife's comp( linux is going on mine----can't d/l to mine, bad ethernet card) i guess i'll have to use that iso stuff.......any idea's guys?I really, really am tired of windows and it's errors..........

Go to www.distrowatch.com and you can peruse a list of the most common linux distributions. If you're new to linux, maybe something like Mandrake, Suse, or RedHat is good to start.

the easiest ones are mandrake , fedora , suse , xandros 2

Don't forget lycoris. Lycoris is really simple, a good move from windows.

Start out with Suse, it's the best (only disadvantage is that you can't download the full distribution on iso, so you'll need to buy the CDs if you don't want a net-install)
I tested Fedora once, it seemed good to me but of the things I hear it seems like many noobs are having troubles with it (boot problem?).


later-on you'll want to migrate to debian, gentoo or slack

You can always get a second computer (a cheap oldie) and run a text only interface. Keeps you from using the graphic interface as a crutch.
