A newbie looking for advice on WinLinux 2003

[Scott E. Dietert]

Hello Staff and readers,

While I realize that this is a Linux sources kernel newsgroup I'm hoping
that some one
using this group might have a answer to my following question:
A LangaList reader recently reported a positive experience with WinLinux
2003 available at
http://www.winlinux.net/2003/. A CD-ROM is available for ~$30.00. Has
anyone used this
version of Linux? What has been your experience with it?
From reading the LangaList entry it sounds as if this version is very
user friendly, almost
a "Linux for Dummies!" Please offer any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely, a Win 98 user who has always been intrigued with Linux, but
has never had the
"courage" to attempt the other versions because I have little "geek"
skill in complex PC use
and problem solving.

Thank you Shadow,
I appreciate your thoughts and will continue looking; respondents on Linux
redhat have suggested Knoppix; any experience with this distribution?
Sincerely,
Scott

My LUG (Linux Users Group) swears by Knoppix, as a way to introduce yourself
and friends to Linux, as a way to circumvent Windows failures - the most
recent Knoppix includes utilities to correct Windows XP NTFS probelms -
etc.

I'd say you're pretty safe going with them.
