Decent Desktop out of the Box

Dave77 · 28 Jun 2008 at 16:42

Hello,

What is the best distro to try for a good looking desktop out of the box? I am hoping to dual boot with XP and want something thats can live with XP ok and not break anything.

Thanks.

Dave.

You looking for no set up at all (windows style) is so somethign like ubuntu, fredora or suse probably will work (but are no fun)

Thanks... Going to give Ubuntu a try, the WUBI installer looks good.

It wont break anything humans being dumb break things. I borked my windows partition at least 5x when I first played with linux.

Reading instructions/guides is the key m8
