Answer 2

I found linux to be much slower than Windows on the same PC. If you have an older computer, you might want to think twice. Also, unless you are very well acquainted with computer concepts, you might have some trouble just getting around the user interface.

I think most linux users see it as a hobby more than anything else. But if you are really interested, there are some Linux distributions that boot off of a CD so you can try it without changing anything to your current system. And if you dont like it, toss the disk.
