RE: [WISPA] Best Linux desktop

2007-05-15 Thread Robert Norris
I am trying to wean myself from Microsoft as well.
Ubuntu is a little easier then Fedora core 6. That's because it's a little
more user friendly. The more I use Fedora core 6 the more I like it.

So far Wine has run all the Windows programs I needed. The only program I
want to try that I haven't yet is QuickBooks Pro.

Subject: [WISPA] Best Linux desktop

A little of topic but I know there are a bunch of linux people out there.

I'm attempting to use windoze as little a possible and want to move to a 
good linux desktop.  Unfortunately many of my programs are windows based 
so live switching if possible would be nice. I here that Wine runs 
windoze stuff pretty well, any feed back would be great.  I'm no linux 
guru so  something that is easy to work with and learn.

Thanks

Tough to beat my Mac Duo Core laptop but.

If you are going to run Linux as a desktop, get a fast processors, at least 
2Gigs of RAM and then here are the best options to run MS apps:
