Linux is not that scary

Everyone is afraid of Linux. Oooooh that OS for geeks? Not really. Not really at all. Try Ubuntu and tell me whether Linux is scary. Its cool and the features in that are really awesome and mind-blowing. It has almost all the things that Windows has but some it still needs a few things that are only there in Windows. However, I can honestly say, it is completely safe (and pretty fun) to dual boot Linux with Windows.


There are two ways you can check Ubuntu. The first one is just to run the CD directly by booting your system with CD boot as your option. This doesn't harm your system not any memory is used. It uses RAM to store its data. Try this. If you are satisfied enough then go for the second option. Try installing it on your disk. But be careful when partitioning, read the screen carefully.

In Linux you do have to use the command line pretty often (it’s like DOS) but you will get all the instructions at the documentation and the forums. After you’ve set up everything though, you won’t have to touch it much. Linux cannot replace your Windows. If you’re used to beloved apps like Photoshop, Dreamweaver and so forth, you can’t replace Windows with Linux as the free substitutes for those programs are either somewhat different or they have less functionality.
Linux is smart. It just makes sense. It does run faster. It does have more apps for it. It is easier to look at.
