    :P :P hey is there any people who use ubuntu,kubuntu,fedora,mandriva and stuff..
    (i tnk there will)
    if you still not using some opensource softwears it is the best time to use...
    do not hesitate. just start using one of them.
    if you want to be a pragramer you must use some these o/s.
    coz it's the best way to lern a codes of a o/s. every code can be viwed,(not like windows).......
    dont worry there will be so many people to help your questions out there..just try
    if you want to get the iso or to get some cd follow the link.(it's all free)
    for ubuntu :- https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
    for kubuntu :- https://shipit.kubuntu.org/

    watch this and you decide wether you use windows or linux

    (if the link dosn't work follow this link)

    you don't have to get a super computer for these things...
    if you have 64 mb vga and somthing around 384 mb ram you can run these visual efects withou any problem..
    you can find so many amazing videos about this in youtube..watch those and decide(serch for "beryl" or "compiz" or "xgl" in youtube serch bar)
    best of luck

    Have used RedHat, Ubuntu, Fedora.

    Pretty good.. But I reckogn the home users will be more satisfied by Windows than Open OSs. Maybe coz of the software compatibilities etc.
