Well, ive decided to give other OS's a try as Windows has constantly been failing me. I plan on making my spare computer a Linux. My question is:
I don't know where to begin.... What else would I need besides the Linux OS. All I do on that computer is either go online and surf the web, and do work with Word and stuff like that, and I manage music on this computer. Really, that is it. I'm not sure which type of Linux I should get. If i like it I will probably switch my main computer to a Linux, in which i do much more tasks such as handling pictures, downloading music, the occasional game (not a big deal if i dont play anymore games on it though), and run chat programs to talk with friends (MSN, Steam, Xfire, and Aim).
I was thinking about the Ubuntu line as it seems like the most popular and most used (that may help later on in the line).
I basically need the 101 on Linux, i know nothing about it but i want it.
