Each PC is 100% compatible. I'dd start Linux the Unix variant that is easy to learn and has a lot of free support. And as a Windows man, lot's of GUI interfaces
Just pick one. Mandrake is my favorite, but I know that there are many, many more favorites on this forum. Please search the forums for equal questions you can think of. There are many people that started thinking this way. Good luck. For specific questions we will always be there for you of course. Regs David |

Gamer? Read these articles...
FiringSquad - Linux intro (see the "Wrapping it all up" section) Also compare the number of games for Linux versus Windows on tucows There are emulators to run Xbox and others but I think you will find you are going to be stuck with Mr. Gates if you want the latest and greatest games. |
