Thanks for the reply Huston.

The migration is because I don't want to be left knowing only Windows. Also, using Unix gives unparalleled advantages you cannot get with Windows. Nor can your room mates use it neither can your brother look into your personal files.

Now, I'll start with Mint.
But one issue. Can I run applications as I do in Windows?
