Re: Thanks to all and one more question

I believe other users have provided you very good answers here.
Normally, it is a good idea if a user list his/her computer's hardware
profile.

For example: If I have said I am looking for a Linux distro for my lap
(which I am), many people may have assumed it is x86-32bit. It is
because duel-core laptop are rear, and just came into the market.
Furthermore, most duel-core laptop are amd based. However, mine is
based on intel.

Based on my personal experience with windows users who are interested
in Linux. I would say try Live CD - or better yet DVD. I personally
have help 10 of my fellow employees move to Linux. They all started
with Linux Live CD, and now some of them are using Slackware (very hard
stuff). If a Windows-user get used to Linux Live, and he/she may start
using Linux in six months or so. Try to use Linux Live CD for ten
minutes or so. Transition time can take up to a years. However, this
should not discourage you if you are really serious about Linux. Live
CD/DVD are the best way of experiencing Linux.

There are two very good Live CDs. One is morphix, and 2nd is Knoppix.
