If you're curious about Linux you could try out Knoppix Linux. It is a Live Linux CD. This version of Linux boots completely from your CD ROM drive without the need to install anything on your hard drive.
So you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows install. If you want to take the plunge and install Linux I'd go with Mandrake, Fedora, or Suse.

I still don't have my linux back up and running yet, but I found this through google and thought you'd like to see it. It's someone else's linux screen shot... Linux Screen Shot

GNOME 2.6.2 on Gentoo. Everything is tiny because I was too lazy to resize my desktop :-)

Sweet! It's great to have a source based expert on the board like you, jcl

Want to keep this board a bit active but don't have anything useful to say, so here's a another screenshot, this time of Fluxbox on my DragonFly machine (style is slightly hacked version of Shade).



GVIM and Moz are running on my Linux box. The GVIM menubar font's slightly enormous because of some inconsistency between the display settings on the two machines that I don't care enough about to investigate.

Took a different snapshot of my desktop, Mandrake 10, kernel 2.6.3. This is on my old junker Plll 500 MHz Dell Optiplex GX1. I'm using Fire Fox 9.1, Mozilla 1.7, Kmail and Thunder Bird.

Heh, we really need to get some more people in here. Or change the name of the board to "Linux/Unix Screenshots"

Yeah, I hear that, man! I've invited a few users over from other boards, but, so far not much movement

You can download it from the link jcl gave you or you can buy Knoppix from:
Discount Linux CDs

I've used this company to buy my copy of Knoppix when I didn't have access to a CD burner. The company is reliable, they delivered my Knoppix CD quickly.
