To begin with - install vmware player in windows amd try a linux install there.
You can do it at home and then take the whole set of files in on a disk or something. There are also pre-installed debian/soose/etc installs for the downloading. Go savage :) -----Original Message----- From: Andy Leach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 8 October 2006 9:23 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Linux in a M$ world Hi All, I'm starting a new job next week, the management are happy for me to take XP off the provided machine and put a Linux desktop on if it'll keep me happy and make me more productive :o) I've never needed to run linux in a windows environment before but I understand that I'll need to set up Samba to let me talk to the servers. With my 'less than guru' level of knowledge I wondered what distro(s) you'd recommend for this task? I'd like it to be KDE based and as quick and trivial to set up as possible as the current developer leaves on a Friday and I start the following Monday... Cheers, Andy
