"Linux for desktop" - That, in my opinion, is going to be one of the hottest things to happen in next 6 to 12 months. That %^&$#@ (cannot even call it an OS) is going to be literally thrown out of windows and linux will be on the desktop with a bang. I would suggest some steps: 1. Stop having doubts about Linux; 2. Get hold of an distro from another user or the nearest LUG (which will also have users - like this mailing list - to help you in teething troubles; 3. Install Linux and Open-Office on 1 machine; 4. Use this machine for : a). Word processing, b). Work-sheets, c). Presentations (what you might be doing on the office suite), d). Browse the net (there are more than one browsers), e) E-mail, f) Yahoo (or similar) Messenger g) Chat and whatever else you do on the net, h) Listen to music and see your VCDs, i) do your programming in C or any other toold, including real visual tools................ there is plenty more that you can do, but this should be more than good to start with;
Do this for few days and you will never want to go back to the current softwares; If you cannot get hold of the distro and OpenOffice nearer to you, send me your postal address and I will mail the CDs to you from Delhi. I can assure you from my experience that you will never regret following this friendly advice.
