Every other forum has rules about these posts because there’s such a glut of them, and yes, I could go read a stickied thread elsewhere, but here I am not doing that.

How would someone with no computer skills get acquainted with the OS? What version would you recommend to the hopeless novice? Can I keep windows on my PC and run the new OS or a practice version of it in a partitioned space while I learn? Can someone with minimal skills/time/patience be happy with a unix-like OS?

    Thanks Pango, I’ll be installing Ubuntu this weekend on an old desktop to check it out risk free and avoid downtime on the primary desktop. I’ll be back with updates and pleas for help.
