Hi All! I Am Very Interested In This Linux. I Am A Xp User Right Now, But Would Like To Try Out Linux. What Would Be The Recamended Operating System. Are Any Of Them Like Any Of The Windows Systems?

select any one of the several user friendly distros, Ubuntu or Kubuntu, or Fedora, or LinuxMint, or Mandriva, or PCLinuxOS...

i suggest trying one and sticking with it a while before moving on to another as they are all mostly the same with just slight differences, for screen shots of desktop environments there is KDE & Gnome to start...

All modern operating systems have some common features--at least with the graphical interface. Beneath the surface, they are very different---any Linux system is--at the core--very different from Windows. But--to the user--many of them WORK in similar ways.

One of the really great things is that most popular versions now come in a "Live CD" form. You don' have to install anything---just boot the CD and dive in. (Keep in mind that Live CD is slow---don't conclude that this is a Linux feature until you actually install.)
