What is the best Linus to run on my computer? The only thing I have on it is DOS. I was wondering if there is a Linux with a Windows interface. If so can you send all answers to plitwa@yahoo.com Thanks One more thing, can Linux be installed from disks?

Hello- There isnt a "best" linux. There are many factors that go into making a certain distobution good. All of them have their strong points. I would recommend reading up on them and choosing one that is best for you. Some of the popular distro's are slackware redhat suse mandrake debian Check them out, and see what you like about each. If your a new user, redhat is my recommendation. That is not to say that you couldnt use another, because with a little reading they are all easy enough to install. And as for if you can install from disks, many of them are very large files, but there are distros of the operation system that can be run from a 3.5 in floppy. 1 floppy. That is pretty amazing. Not a whole lot of features but still. As for a windows interface, you are referring to XWindows. It is a GUI for linux. XWindows can be configured to look almost exactly like windows. The two most popular desktop environments for x are KDE and GNOME. Just a warning, Xwindows and a desktop manager will significantly increase your necessary install space. Hope this helps -Ryan
