@Lost_souls

is it a satisfactory replacement for windows?? r u using it in a dual boot with windows or standalone?

If you think of it as a Windows replacement you’d have a hard time. Think of it as a tool that gets your job done. You said you surf the web and some multimedia stuff. There are tons of apps available for all those tasks. Plus a lot of things are doable in just Chrome

Installation of application is easy with apt-get and most apps are free.

@JoelKhan

Actually you are helping in a way by talking about the project and installing it.

Linux grows on you. I used to be a windows user through and through but after using linux and seeing the power of the terminal I m leaning toward being a linux user.

As Joel says you’re already helping. Keep posting issues and successes you’re having and get a meme going. I’ll start posting more stuff about Ubuntu (I run it as a VM). Once you get used to it you won’t miss Windows too much. Specially with the Windows 8 transition that people would have to be doing soon anyways. So, post away!
