   Once again.. after a short 5 minute or less review on Linux: its cool! its user interface is much like Windows- its quite easy to use. instead of the usual start button, there is the Aplications button, another button as the control panel. basically, the whole windows start menu and taskbar is at the top of the desktop.

   On the desktop screen i saw some familiar icons such as My Computer, Recycle bin etc. Surprisingly, i didnt know that Linux has its own "Task Manager" too. I guess that progams may stop responding in Linux.

   And the portable application for running Linux was unable to resize the window frame when i change Linux screen size- it stop responding! :(

   To sum up, I find that Linux is a good alternative to Windows if buying a Mac is over your budget. but the downside is that you cant run GOTD's giveaways in Linux unless you get Wine(or something like that).

   Be careful with anything thats 'thinstalled' or 'portable' as they could contain backdoors and other nasty code.

   So make sure it comes from a legit site.
