I’ve been really interested in Linux, but am not patient enough or technical enough to sit and mess with drivers and compatibility settings. With some help, I have Kubuntu installed on half my computer’s drive. I have not been able to get wireless to work with my HP dv6000 laptop, and so it’s just sitting there using up my space. I’ve tried to google a solution, but most seem very complicated to me. I don’t think linux will “fail miserably” like someone suggested above, but until everything works “out of the box” with a WIDE variety of hardware, without any tweaking or additional installation of drivers, it won’t ever have a chance of surpassing Microsoft or Apple’s OS.

Anyone looking for an easy to use Linux should try Linux mint. It is basically Ubuntu, but come with everything you need preinstalled (Flash, for example).

Those looking for a distribution to suit the average user, I would highly recommend Puppy Linux 4.2.1, There are so many linux distributions available now that it can be very tough to choose the one that best suits you. The guy that said there isn’t a distro for the average user obviously hasn’t tried very many distros. Puppy linux can be run from a live cd and/or installed onto a hard drive or flash drive. The entire OS is only 100mb and yet it has just about everything that the home desktop user needs and it is very easy to use. I’m not saying puppy linux is the best, i’m just saying it is definitely worth a try and runs on just about any hardware. I especially recommend this as the first distribution you try if you are new to linux.

what comes next…

So you’ve got your new computer set up – you’re ready to hit the web, rock out on e-mail, catch up with all your friends over IM and Skype, and crank out the documents in your office suite. But what else can the thing do?
If you run Window…
