    So, did a little search and didn't see much about Linux/GNU. Figured I would start a thread where people can quibble oveer which distro is the best and show off what they built :smoking:
     
    Personally, I hop back and forth between Mint 15 64bit Cinnamon, and Arch with Openbox. HP DM4, i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD. I love pacman, but apt-get is just so functional and easy, and most Debian/Ubuntu derivitives just kind of work out of the box, which is nice from time to time.

    I use Ubuntu myself, set up dual-boot with Windows 7 for my computer games and iTunes and have a 3rd partition for my libraries (music, documents, videos, pictures, etc).

    It is at the core but most everything runs in the DVM

    Been looking into getting a linux dual boot, what would be a good starting point?
    I'm thinking mint 15.

    Mint is always a good starting point for beginners. My grandma's computer crashed and I installed mint on it. She uses it like its nobodies business.

    Ubuntu's where it's at. Been loyal since like '08 now, never had a problem.

    Back when I used it as my main I had Bodhi Linux. It's lightweight and looks nice.
