I am downloadint Open Suse 12.1 as we speak. Seems that there has not been any activity on the linux forum section in about five years. Too bad. i am tired of windows for the most part. i posted that I had originally bought lindows and after the microsost suit scared them they changed it to Linsire 6.0. I had not fired up the PC with the Lindows on it for three or so years and when i did i found that xandros had bougt it out, stripped everything that they wanted and discontinued The Free software feature, "CNR.com". I then found out that Xandros discontinued Linspire.
So that left me wondering which linux based Distro to get . i settled on open suse 12.1. it is downloading now and i will come back and let any one who may be still on the linux forum know how it is going.
