GarethDW: What happened to RTFM? In my defence, OP made it out that he was interested in learning, thus my recommendation. If OP said "I used windows and want to use something similar but Linux based/free", my recommendation would be different.
Surely they should use windows then? Where all of that is true. I am not of opinion that Linux is better then windows and those who can use are some sort of master race, but more that to me the Linux is more appealing in how things are done. And that if anyone else wants to learn to use it, they would do much better to dive right in.
That's right, but the installation manual introduces the text based approach which is by far more useful then a GUI based one.
Because more people using Linux means in the end that we all benefit and vendors will have to release drivers/source to keep people investing in their brands. Its not meant to be a drop in replacement for windows but if the user is gradually moved over to the Linux way of doing things they are more likely to stick around?
