thinking about getting Linux
My dad has a pc that he doesn't use anymore and has XP on it. I am thinking about putting Linux on there just to see if I like it.
First, why is Linux so cheap? I saw it on ebay for 3 bucks. There was a bunch of them on there for around that price. Second, is there any compatibility issues with software and hardware? Will I have to have different software than what works with XP? Third, which version is the best one? Like on Vista, the ultimate package is the one with everything bundled. Which version of Linux is like that or is it different? Fourth, how do you go from XP to Linux? Do you have uninstall XP before I can install Linux or will I be able to do that with the Linux cd? Fifth and last thing, how does Linux compare to XP? What do you think about Linux? Is it better than XP? Last edited by memory; 02-09-2007 at 01:20 AM. |
