Install all the plugins (flash, MP3 plugins, codecs etc), then Open Office, then your prefered browser (Chrome for me) and IM clients, you can get them all from the Ubuntu Software Center.

Re: Linux distributions. .

I have had some issues in the past where documents from libre wont open in MS office.

Installed Linux Mint 13 xfce yesterday on my home latop. Loving it so far.

Also installed Xubuntu on wife's laptop. No issues so far.

So does anyone here think in the not too distant future Linux will rule?

What is Linux share for 1) consumer PC 2) corporate PC 3) servers

Where do you see Linux share in each category in
1) 5 years
2) 10 years
3) 15 years

Re: Linux distributions. .

Try Linux Mint. It has a more windows like desktop.

I understand. Windows 7 is much nicer than previous versions. However I would take Linux over Windows any day.
