Unfortunately there is no real easy or quick way (at least none that doesn't end up biting you on the bum later).
Diet is probably the most important thing to get right first (sadly there's just no getting away from it).
Then cardio is up to you - HIIT is great, but will be hard if you're...
You clearly must be too young to remember when Intel had total domination and progress totally stagnated for about 12 months in ~1996.
It's not just that of course, graphics card have been the same (they stagnated badly after Voodoo died and again before ATi got back on track).
The only...
Is that the next couple of months - 2 months or so, or next couple of months - 6 months or so?
Just wondering as I haven't seen any release schedules for them, and 2-3 months is fine, but the longer it is the harder it is to wait. :)
As an alternative to the buntu's (and mintbuntu), you could try PCLinuxOS.
Try the PCLinuxOS 2007 liveCD for a bit, then wait for the if 2009 new edition to install it if you want to go further.
It's pretty user and ex-windows user friendly and tries to do most everything through the GUI.
In all honesty if you've put off buying Vista for this long, I'd put it off till Windows 7 comes out (which will be about the same time that Vista manages to defragment your hard drive :D).
Every time there's no competition for Intel they basically sit on their haunches and rake in money from overpriced CPUs and development pace nosedives.
This has been the same 3-4 times since the early 90's now.
I'm really hoping AMD's new chip puts them back on at least equal footing - not...
Why build one now?
Wait a couple of months and both AMD and Intel will have new CPUs out, at best they might be a massive step up, at worst you'll be getting price drops on older CPUs anyway.
It depends on who you're aiming it at.
People don't like change and an awful lot of people will be and are put off by their first "hmm... I want to do X but I can't do it like windows moment".
Now you can say "well they shouldn't be using linux then", and if that's your opinion then that...
Aye, the Gnome2008 or the minime2008 might be better as it allows you to build it up as you want.
But then I don't know that it's a distro for people that are really into linux (although I don't really see why not either), I just think it's a very good distro for introducing people that have...
Well if you don't like KDE it's never going to impress you (although there is a gnome version ;)).
I'm a bit bemused by your package management comment though as really rather simple and nicely designed (it doesn't have big commercial backing however so occasionally repositories need to be...
Aye the new Mandriva is nice (and has some great hardware detection - one of the few that will automatically configure my sound on install), but I still think PCLinuxOS (which was originally a Mandriva offshoot of course) is the distro that'll give people coming straight from windows the least...
Coming from windows with little to no Linux experience?
I'd say http://www.pclinuxos.com/ and the 2007 version (full 2008 will be out soon - don't mess with the minime version till you know what you're doing) it's KDE and quite windows-ish, a rolling update distro with a lovely package/update...
That's just MS and lazy programming though, some bloat is inevitable, but look at Linux compared to MS stuff and see the difference.
And at the end of the out side of gaming, graphics work and very specialist use (protein folding), you can do most home type things more or less as fast on a PC...
If you remember the pre-AMD (as a genuine competitor) days you'd think so.
A Pentium 200MHz remained Intel's top spec general user chip for a very long time in 1996-1997 (after the earlier Pentiums had blown most all other competition away), once the K5 and then K6's appeared it made Intel up...
Well it's just a good way of stopping erosion of your power base, I guess, although like most Sharia Law (which frankly is largely about keeping and expanding your power base/believers) it is stuck in the 13th century and isn't particularly compatible with human rights or religious freedom, or...
