BTW yeah less software written for linux compared to windows, but also more spyware, viruses, popups, etc.
i keep live cds just in case something goes wrong with windows like it won't boot or keeps on restarting to retrieve important files.. n yes just to sample them too..
Lurker Reviewed by Lurker on . If you would like to try Linux Hello if you don't know ever since I started dual booting Mandrake 10.1 this past year I have become a sort of Linux finatic. I now dual boot XP and Kubuntu, but it wasn't until tonight that I actually gave thought into trying KNOPPIX which is a Linux distribution that can boot and run from one standard CD. It is a great thing to try if you are looking into trying linux for the first time. It is very easy if you can manage to download one 700MB ISO image and burn it to a CD-Rom and configure Rating: 5
