Ok, for those who haven't wandered over to TULT, I wanted to throw up some quick links for those of you struggling with viruses, adware, etc and who are ready to give MS the boot but not lay 2 grand down on a Mac-banded BSD box. Some quick links to easy-install and setup linux flavors.
Just for Fun, try this out:
Which linux distro are you?
zegenie Studios Linux Distribution Chooser
My quick pics for linux distros:
Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu
PCLinuxOS
Fedora Project
Debian -- The Universal Operating System
Puppy Linux Home - your fast, small and free Linux distro
all have live "try it" cd's so there is no commitment to install before you play. Don't fear! Linux can be easy or hard depending on how much you want to tweak it!
