Mepis or Ubuntu.
Really any of the current batch of Linux distros are very easy to learn, boot
cds, graphical installs, its easier than Windows for sure.

Unix, however, as you will know if you've ever used it as a command
line implementation, is a main frame OS of the old style -- cryptic
commands, a hangover from when using whole words would eat up your
disk or memory space,
No. Try a 110 baud ASR-33 teletype for I/O. Slow, and noisy, and

Anyway the first time I installed Mepis Linux I thought oh, looks like a

So what do you recommend a Linux newbie use after 25 years of PC usage?
Right now, I'm triple boot in XP, Vista, and Mepis, but 98% of the time I run
XP. Only use Mepis or Vista for
It's actually amusing that we are now all running the OLDEST OS
around -- Unix was developed in the mid 60's by a pair of computer
researchers (note that they were NOT hackers -- both had PhD's, I
think, in computer science or something) on a PDP-11 8 bit processor
with a couple thousand

Apple uses Mach with Aqua, Microsoft uses NT with Windows and *NIX
uses, well, whatever they want. Very flexible *NIX is. KDE and Gnome

VERY interesting discussion - history. Thanks.
What about the Amiga OS and GUI? Geoworks? Windows v.1 that ran on DOS
(4.0?)
I never got to lay hands on an Amiga, but did run Geoworks on an 8088
laptop, back when.
I think we installed Windows 2.x on something (a DOS box), and wondered why
we'd
Amiga OS was similar to the earlier (non-Unix based) Apple Mac system
software, but I don't believe it was the same code. Same processors,
similar board design, but I don't know the details.
LIke a Mac, it ate DOS for breakfast, but the market dropped them.
Geoworks was a very slick
Seems to be quite a few how to sites saying that Leopard can be installed

There have been several ports of OSX Intel flavor to various PCs, but
they usually only work on that single model and are often flaky.
Apple doesn't support anything but their own architecture, so one
must write all the code to access anything else.
Be nice, though, eh? MUCH faster and
it's a lot bigger project than you would think to get it to work and then it
still doesn't work right. the only reason to do this is if you just like
the project and not to save money as minis are so cheap (399 for last
generation and 499 for this generation at microcenter.) the mini comes
ready
