First, a correction- Ubuntu, Fedora, and SuSE are all 'flavors' of Unix (Linux, technically) a similar way ninety 8, XP and Vista are 'flavors' of homestead windows. in any case, it fairly is like asking which video game console is best- the respond relies upon on the guy and projects in touch. each and each has stable and vulnerable factors (Unix, to illustrate, is frequently greater guard, yet hasn't gotten the gaming element down yet). Compiz Fusion can do what Aero does (and greater) in X-homestead windows, so because it is not lots of a merchandising element. I do basically like the actuality Vista's time-honored person mode works greater proper than XP's, in spite of the shown fact that it has different faults too. I nonetheless use it the main, by using fact it is what got here put in on the computing gadget I basically offered and that i dont' could desire to locate alternative apps or use WINE. i could nonetheless evaluate XP the best workplace computing device environment, and Linux the best server environment, nevertheless too. fairly relies upon on what you want to do with it.

There is a Unix OS made especially for windows - it's sold under the name "Linspire" but is made from the same company that produces the RedHat Fedora core type of product.
If you need help in partitioning, there is a program you can download called partition magic - way less confussing than XP standard.

If you just want to try Linux out, either download a LiveCD distro, or get a virtual machine. I recommend InnoTek VirtualBox, becuase, unlike VMWare Workstation, it is free, and unlike VirtualPC from Microsoft, it has no restrictions about running on a "Home" version of Windows.

VMWare is probably the best. I've successfully installed and run Ubuntu in a virtual machine using MS Virtual PC, but it was very slow.
