Well the only reason i suggested Ubuntu at first is because as a person who is jsut learning Linux himself Ubuntu offers the greatest transition from Windows to Linux. While Mint, PCLinuxOS among all sorts of others are probably far better with certain things, Ubuntu will be the easiest to learn from first.
I have Ubuntu installed myself and am trying to learn how to do all things. I would like to see Wine and Beryl working as i have heard some great things about them. But for now i have to learn how to operate and install thigns on Linux. Which is why Ubuntu is great for this.
Plus yes that is my
WIFE not me.
