iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 Hello!!I'm an amateur in computers.I gained an computer this year and it comes with WINDOWS XP.But my friend told me that the Linux is better than Windows.Is it true?? If you are totally new to both, i'll suggest you bite the bullet and go with linux. It's very hard to go from windows to linux later. I have tried foryears now, to make the switch, but I always become unstuck with the fact that you cant get true root access in linux but if you have never gotten used to i, you won't need it.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 3, 2005 Linux is hard because you alredy know windows.If you are new to both OS', it doesn't really matter, they are equally hard.But if you start with linux, you have a pretty good chance of becoming happy and content with it.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 4, 2005 windows is the most unstable, most unsave, most hacked, most virus reported OS! HOW IN THE WORLD DO PEOPLE USE IT!, yes i have it, but i use linux as much as i can, and mandrake linux is very easy, combind with KDE, even someone that never used a computer in his/her life can adapt to KDE just as easalie as windows, and for you people that use windows for biz. lol don't come crying to the linux community when ur computers get hacked , also if u don't wan't linux, Go with Macintosh!, they do have a 10 year run over microsoft! the Mac OS X is beautiful!advice-just try not to use windows to often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
