I forgot to mention although I run ZorinOs, it should work under any 
flavour of Linux. I just chose Zorin, as they configure it to look Windows 
ish to help the transition. Zorin may well appear on the Raspberry Pi in 
the next couple of years.

I have to say that Linux has moved on since my articles on how to install 
Linux way back in 2005.

Whereas my instructions were all around the command line, you can now do 
it all from the comfort of windowed environment. You can now try it live 
without installing before deciding to install.

Some areas of Linux are still not quite as polished as Windows, but it is 
nice to be in control of your computer, something I have never felt with 
the MS effort.
