I know this is a cliché topic, but I&#39;m still new to this Linux stuff.<br /><br />Here&#39;s the thing. I&#39;ve thinking of switching over to Linux lately. The reason is, I think it just doesn&#39;t make sense for me to purchase an original copy of windows for the sake of basic use of internet and videos. The thing is, I&#39;m planning to switch over to a Linux system and I have no idea which one I should try first.<br /><br />Bare in mind that I&#39;m new to this. I have no experience in using any version of Linux. I have tried installing a Linux version before (can&#39;t quite remember the name), but, I&#39;ve not been able to understand the entire system. If I&#39;m not mistaken, it was called Mandroke. Worse still was when I was trying to install drivers and codecs. I just had no idea how to do it. <br /><br />Are there simple versions of Linux that is simple enough for me to use? Something where it doesn&#39;t give me that &quot;DOS&quot; screen to type the codes to download the codecs and drivers. <br /><br />Thank you in advance. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Jericho2011 Linux &amp; Open Source Software Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:12:35 +0800
