Default Re: So I'm thinking of trying Linux

you guys that wanted to know if pclinuxos was a livecd, yes it is.
i would recommend both pclinuxos and ubuntu to someone new to linux. pclos is awesome installing and is amazingly easy to use. for some reason, i think you will stick with ubuntu longer just because it is both easy for people new to linux, but is more powerful for when you get good with linux.

"Naming them would either make it clear that Linux is not infringing at all (which is quite possible, especially if the patents are bad), or would make it possible to avoid infringing by coding around whatever silly thing they claim,"

"So the whole 'We have a list and we're not telling you' should tell you something. Don't you think that if Microsoft actually had some really foolproof patent, they'd just tell us and go, 'nyaah, nyaah, nyaah!'?"
