Think about getting Linux
Used Ubuntu before
Wonder if there are better distros

So, that leads me here. LG, what do you think the best Linux Distro is? I would need a nice thing for file browsing and it would still have to support downloading and all of that st0ff and firefox and preferably look nice

Just saw Linux Mint and that looks pretty cool too :O

Also, anyone know the current state on the distro that anon was making? :O saw a thing about it once on partyvan.info

Anyway, SUGGEST AWAY

EDIT: And maybe being able to run .exe files? Either that or is there some special thing you can install when you have Linux that lets you run .exe files or would you have to use cmd to run them?

I use ubuntu, and use WINE to run .exe files, and .jar files. :) All you have to do is set the permissions to exectuable. and it'll execute.

I just got Ubuntu, I'm on it now, and I LOVE it :D I'll have to get WINE soon, but for now I'll just explore the world of Ubuntu :D I LOVE ITTTT
