I can't believe this is actually going to become reality. I heard about this a while back, but I dismissed it as vaporware in the back of my mind.

Now there's an alternative to Wine.

Nice, i've been thinking about switching to Linux. But there are so many choices. I was thinking either Red hat or Fedora Core, But this seems good too.

This isn't a distro.

u know what fu*k you

This is your verbal warning. Do not repeat this behavior again, or you will be warned and/or suspended based on your next actions.

Yeah, I figured as much since there wasn't any info like that on the site. Either way, I still wanna switch to Linux.

You should probably go with Fedora Core, as Red Hat is aimed at the enterprise market now (and Fedora Core is more cutting-edge anyway, but otherwise the same thing).

Is that what you use? I know Redhat is more enterprise, cause thats what it says. But I would like to get the opinions of others.

Everything I've read about Fedora Core 4 has been pretty positive. Start reading up on GNOME and KDE, so you're familiar with either one of those interfaces. Personally, I'm most comfortable with KDE, but you might be different.

Yeah, my computer runs Fedora Core 3 (haven't gotten home to update it lately, as I had planned). I also use Red Hat Enterprise a lot (it's what I write software for) and it's pretty much the same, actually.

Ahhh I see, Well, it looks like I'm going go have to find Gnome and KDE for dummies.

Is their any "offical" linux system? There are so many, like the original maybe. Seriously, with all these linux systems. I didn't know which one to pick.

There's no "official" Linux. Linux is just a kernel, a core set of software that manages a computer; every distro just adds things on top of that that are targeted to certain audiences. Fedora Core, Ubuntu, and Mandriva are targeted towards new Linux users; something like Debian are Gentoo are more powerful but a bit harder to set up. There are, of course, hundreds of other distros (no joke) out there that I'm not even going to bother to list.

You probably wouldn't need a "GNOME for Dummies" or "KDE for Dummies" book (I don't even think they mak those) because the desktop environments are pretty intuitive. However, the one thing about Linux is that a lot of things, such as installing drivers and software, are very different from Windows, and often require the use of arcane commands from the terminal. Also, updating the Linux kernel can be a real pain in the ass.

Yeah, KDE is pretty straightforward, but its nice to get familiar with the names of certain apps. I've never had to update the kernel before, since I haven't had a linux install since Mandrake 9.2.
