Good to hear from you. Life is...TrevolutionNow,<br /><br /> Good to hear from you. Life is wonderful.<br /><br /> Regarding distribution choice, I sense a trap :). I'm very happily employed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. I'm personally very happy with Ubuntu and would recommend it. Inside of Ubuntu, you basically have 2 choices, 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin ("Long Term Support") and 13.04 ("Raring Ringtail"). 13.04 is newer and flashier but has security patch support only for 9 months, while 12.04 is supported on desktop packages for 3 years and 5 years on server packages.<br /><br /> I'd recommend downloading each ISO, putting them on a USB key and giving them a try with that in mind.<br />Scott Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336409131491231474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612900155488851021.post-25115737616745569092013-06-13T09:19:50.477-07:002013-06-13T09:19:50.477-07:00Fatso here,

It has obviously been years since my last dabbling in it. I recently installed linux mint 15 olivia on an old laptop that had been left for dead. Needless to say, it has been resurrected. I am looking to install a new OS on a few newer laptops.
