I've tried all i possibly can with Ubuntu, Mint, Slax, and Fedora. it is not for everyone.I've had dual and tri boot set ups. I've tried them in the VM Player, I've ran them as a live CD from a CD and from a USB drive. If you understand XP or Vista and you have no problems with either one of the two, stick with what you know and more important than that, what works. Windows works completely. There are too many things missing in Linux and too many things that don't work. I know it is free, but still, my gosh, how much grief can a man take before it is time to give up? I tried for about six months. Like I said before, it is not for everyone. Good Luck all future Linux Distro users and God Speed.
