What is it? Yes, it's an operating system, but what's special about it?
How do you download it? What happens once downloaded? Any side effects? I saw everywhere i looked that it was free, but that's basically all I could find out :( Could you please explain more? Research has failed me. |

mhm... stick to windows, linux sucks!
you might like it if you know scripting(bash, csh, ksh...) and loves installing things using the command line interface. it's this window where you type something and the computer interprets/compiles it. i think it's mainly used as a server. unlike windows, linux can be installed without a gui(graphical user interface). no gui means better performance. i deleted mine long ago and messed up my windows. linux's bootloader is going to take over the mbr(master boot record; executed when the pc boots up) so if you're going to install, i suggest you get another hard drive. ubuntu is a good linux distro for noobs(imo), so if you're really interested, http://www.ubuntu.com/ <-thats the site. |
