I've been wanting to try Linux for years. Been hesitant though because its simply different. Yesterday I ran across an article which points to Live Evaluation CDs. Basically you can boot Linux up using a CD-ROM.
Within just one hour I've downloaded the Knoppix and SUSE versions and hey, they're pretty good.
Its hard to get an unbiased opinion sometimes but I am thinking about hosting Geeklog on my own machine. Currently I am running Windows XP on a 1.2 Athlon with 512RAM.
XP runs great but how would Linux compare if I decided to install it? I heard its so good IBM installed it on a wris*censored*ch...
Should I notice a difference? Using its GUI (KDE or is it Knome) will I see an improvement if I get around to hosting and serving with it compared to XP?
