They are great operating systems, they tend to be fast solid operating systems, benchmark results tend to be better than a windows based system. The great thing about them are they are all free to download and install. Don't want to install it no problem they allow you to try each one by running it from a cd or flash drive. I do suggest you use the Windows installer that is offered in some of the distributions, just makes installing and uninstalling pretty simple... | 24 |

Everything else on the interface is excellent including the same rock solid stability and security you would expect from Linux. | 17 |
