Which Linux Operating System to choose????
When you have a Windows computer, you have the various visual desktops, but each desktop is defined by the operating system running the machine. So even if skinned or themed, an XP desktop is found with XP, a Vista desktop with Vista, W7 with W7, etc. etc. This isn't always the case with Linux Operating Systems. As you may know, I have been a user of Linux, trying and tinkering since the early 2000's and over the last year and a half, maybe two years, I have been teaching myself to use Linux as an alternate Operating System to Windows. These days, Linux Operating Systems have come on in leaps and bounds, beautifully displayed, and are generally, out-of-the-box ready, with proprietary and free open source software built in, and in most cases can be run fully when installed. They are self updating and can be customised a great deal to suit your personal taste or configuration. There are different types of desktop, and most are available in various O.S.'
