Linux hunting

If your like most people you probably use a version of Microsoft Windows (See all Windows 7 Operating System) or Mac OS (See all Mac Computer Operating Systems)
.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was something out there that would let you freely customize what your computer does and runs. Well there is LINUX and there are like 100 versions of it.

So the real question is witch one is right for you.
Ubuntu Linux (See all Software Development Books) is the most popular out there right now and has a huge amount of support making it great for the average user to switch and try it out.

But if your afraid of wiping out what you know Linux Puppy is a great alternative you load it onto a flash drive and boot straight to it when you end your session you can save the changes you made and reboot into your good old faithful OS and be on your way. There isn't as much support but since Linux at the core is all pretty much the same a little research you'll be able to figure it out and booting it from a flash drive all the changes are temporary.
