Krambo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi, My sister is after a laptop and I was wondering how easy to use Linux is? We pretty much only need it for word processing, msn and the internet? Im assuming there are compatible programs available for this? I know a few of you have used linux or do use it. Isit up 2 the job? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custard~SPARTA~ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have read a fair bit about ubuntu its the easist disritibution for the first timer Firefox etc works for Linux and the open office does everything else but not sure about msn working on linux you would have to check that out first. I was thinking of making a server box with linux on it but a haven't got the money at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeh we were looking for a cheap laptop this Christmas, and they were all Linux, so I gave it some thought then wimped out and got a Vista one. (Bargain ASUS at Morrisons only £249). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis~SPARTA~ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 If all she does is garden variety stuff and no pc gaming, it would be fine for her. Worst case, you'll end up installing windows. I've run linux before and for surfing, email, photos, wordprocessing, and most everything else, it's fine. until you want to play cod4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
