Well I got a new hard drive on the way from newegg, so I am going to wipe the old one and install vista on the new drive and linux on the old drive. The only problem is theres so many linux builds out there. Anyone have any recommendations?

Yea I went Gnome to. Sure seems to be better and faster, still customize it as you want. TONS easier to find stuff you want.

                                                        My new responce to someone asking What linux build to go with.

There Is one thing you need to decide before which version of linux you want. There are 2 Basic desktops to choose from.

KDE- That will give you all the fancy, Cube, Windows Blows up kinda stuff. You will spend some time trying to figure what does what and what keyboard shortcuts you will need to make some of the fancy stuff do what it does. Finding installed programs can be a bit tough.

Gnome- Not all the bells and whistles but you can still customize it, add themes, Looks nice, as a new Linux user myself from windows 98 days, Gnome is much easier to find stuff, and Can be changed over to kde in time if you want.

As far as which brand of linux, Ubuntu,OpenSuse, all that, They are all pretty much the same. One offers no more features than the other, What may work Great on my computer, May not work well with yours.

The one Build That is as close to windows as you can possible get, Including the desktop trash can and "my computer" icon is Manriva I prefer 2008.

So decide on your desktop, Then decide which flavor of Linux you want, Hit the forums, Give the one you like a shot.
