I paid a fortune for XP Professional only to have it crash twice and destroy all my data.. then when I attempt to re-install from the original CD have it refuse to work because my CD did not contain service pack 2. I heard about Linux and thought it might be the answer to all my prayers?? However after reading the above I realise that it is only for techies and computer nerds.. I am totally confused what on earth is a "Distro"???? How many different versions are there? What is the difference.. Where is software available?... All very confusing.. I now have Vista and the first thing Microsoft did when I registered it was to send millions of updates???..because it was sold totally full of bugs and problems!!.. How can they get away with selling something totally unsuitable for the purpose it was purchased??.. I wish there was an alternative but it seems Linux has a long way to go before a non nerd like myself can use it! John :O( hi there, I hate Microsoft..

for user wat to go deep: openSUSE

with the new package manager in openSUSE 11 you can really forget apt (and the distro's using it: ubuntu, debian, etc.) even if it's based on rpm (don't confuse the package manager - apt - with the package type - dpkg). the new Yast is the most powerfull package manager on the market!

There's nothing wrong with RPM at all, but you can't compare rpm and deb, they have different builds and have their own pros and cons. I've tried opensuse 10.3, its good at KDE, I feel. But with the kind of support ubuntu has based on the numerous communities and IRC channels is what makes it a better option for a newbie. However, that's my own discretion! You're thoughts might differ, for that matter. @Shashwat You've again got me wrong!
