Yes, I know Linux 'Is Not Windows' but there are a lot of people out there who would like an alternative to MS if only to get something for nothing. I tried loads of cover disks and downloads and none of them passed my test of providing a workable OS without asking techy questions - I deliberately put myself in the position of 'interested amateur with no command line knowledge' - and they always let me down, sometimes at the Grub stage, sometimes refusing to complete installation, sometimes ignoring some component or other (usually networking that made all remaining steps impossible). So far the only one, and the one I am typing this reply on now, is Linux Mint. Astonishing ease on installation and everything is there, working, automatically. Easier than Windows. There I said it. All power to the Mint development team - they deserve it! I can count myself in the 6-20 category.
