[sneezymelon]

depends on which qualities you rate a good OS on basis of.

If you're a linux newbie, try PCLinuxOS
else, you can try other more advanced OS like Ubuntu, Fedora etc.

I would recommend PCLinuxOS 'cause it's interface is much like Windows and you won't have much trouble adapting to it.

Then try Linux / MAC OS. All Linuc distros are available at:

ibiblio linux archive - distributions

MAC OS is available at:

http://www.osx86project.org/

have u used linux?is it gud?do games run on it?so many questions but i need those answers.

 

[sam999]

i used redhat some years ago, after that i removed it within a day.

 

[sneezymelon]

Yes, I have used linux. Rather, I am using Linux.Many games run on it using Wine or Cedega which emulate a Windows environment if there's not already a Linux version of the game. But, not all.Is it good? That depends on what you think of it...

@sneezymelon-pclinuxos.org gives the linux as torrent with 86% seeders and 14%leechers.do i DL from there?

Dude, for gamers, Windows XP is the best.

If you are a hardcore gamer, Linux is NOT for you.

which emulator is better winr or cedega?from where can i Dl them? i used to play games like crazy but now m not a hardcore gamer but like sport games.play em once in a while.do i go 4 linux?

 

[sneezymelon]

wine can be downloaded from the Synaptic-Package-Manager itself.Cedega is, I guess, not free.Nope, Linux's not for gamers.You can get a few games to work, but, not all.
