    Well, after looking and trying to remember where I read that cuote I cant backup my hiphothesis. However, IN MY OPINION, I think its best to start off the hard way, because then the rest is simple.

    Here's a great article that gives some good reasons to use an alternative to Windows:
    http://www.hevanet.com/peace/microsoft.htm
    My school's window computers wouldn't let me load the site, conspiracy? i'm pretty darn sure
    pretty good site though.

    starX makes a very good point though.
    it's up to each and every person what distro to use.



    The rhetoric of the Linux community needs to shift away from OS elitism and develop a more friendly environment that lacks the chest-thumping of those who just want a chance to show off how they are better than everyone else.
    Isnt that more or less what that Lindows distro does?

    OS: Linux Mandrake 9.0
    Compiler: gcc-3.2
    Languages: C, C++, Java

    If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.

    If you're getting started with linux, it's a good idea to go over to www.linuxnewbie.org. It has been a valuable resource as I have learned to use linux efficiently.
