Who's Running Linux?

[snerd]

I'm bored tonight, and figured I throw back on an install of Linux, and dual-boot. What's the latest and greatest? What are you using? Thanks!

I need this too. I want to start using Linux. If you have any suggestions please let us know

Will look on my bench at work. I had a few of latest distros.
Ubuntu is easy but I don't really like the desktop, kbuntu is ok, Debian too

If you're just starting out, Ubuntu is the most "windows-like" of the Linux flavors.

Yeah, Ubuntu is pretty good for starting out. My favorite is Linux Mint, with the Cinnamon desktop.

Been using it for a long long time. But If you do a lot of computer "work" you'll still need a "Vindows masheen"

I do Kali linux on a bootable USB with persistence built in. Kali may not be the distro you are looking for as it is a security auditing suite. Other distros support bootable USB.

Yes i am using my pc a lot, but i really want to try how it works. The only thing that's worries me is that i play games a lot so i will probably try to install it on separate partition.

When you set up an Ubutu distro, it'll let you re-partition your drive (if you have enough free space) so you can install Ubuntu (Linux) alongside Windows. (You already knew this, it's for others

If you're going to get into all this, may I suggest BEFORE you do anything to check into CLONEZILLA?
I use it a lot and it's a great (FREE) hard disk mirroring software that is extremely handy and has saved my arse MANY times.

And I use Filezilla for my FTP program, it's good and free.

Cent os is a good one to try also if you want a easy install. Haven't done any dual boot on my pc usually use another box to play with so I can blow it up .
