Easy linux (good for windows users)

Recommended Posts

i really don't see a differnce, except that windows is evil and EXTREAMLY UNSTABLE!, but i'm talking about ease of use!

if ur a windows user, and wanna try an easy to get/use linux without installing ANYTHING on ur hard drive, i suggest KNOPPIX, you burn it on to a 700 MB CD, u boot ur computer from the cd, and it autodetects ur hardware, and ur good to go! even go online if u have DSL or higher! (not sure about diel up...) it starts u off in KDE desktop (yes windows users, you don't have to use just one type of desktop!)

What is KNOPPIXŽ?
KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it.

just go to http://www.knoppix.org/ and click ur language, and read on how to download!

Either you use that or try different linux distributions and have them on your hdd. :DMake 2 partitions on your hard drive - one Ext3 and the other linux swap - use partition magic. You can also format the partition as reiser (a newer file system for linux) when you are installing linux

Some other notable live cd distros, these can be installed to hard drive too right? (including knoppix)

Gnoppix

Gnoppix is a linux live cd based upon Ubuntu Linux. It can be compared to Knoppix but GNOPPIX uses GNOME as desktop environment.

LOL!!! Nareth, that is awesome. I too like Windows XP A LOT!!! I will admit to using Debian linux however, just as an alternative for software. I do however, run an Apache Web Server on XP, along with a MySQL server and several other VERY demanding programs on only 265MB ram, and XP runs like a champ. That's something linux can't claim for 256MB.
