This means less viruses and less trouble with malicious software!

How many times have you gotten tired of dealing with your Microsoft Windows machine and wanted something different? Let me tell ya, this guy has had that happen so many times. Ever go to a site and ever since you been to that site, now you have pop-ups? Yup me too!

SPECIAL NOTE: Viruses and Malicious software will not harm, or I should say, is less likely, to harm a Linux machine only because there are so many computers running Windows, HACKERS like mass destruction. Think of it like this: Out of 100 computers, 95 computers have Microsoft Windows. The other 5 have Linux. Hackers want to cause trouble for 95% of the computer population. There is just no fun when only 5% is affected. Running a linux machine will enable the end user to have more sleep at night rather than being up all night stressing about the cost of fixing the home computer.

If you are interested in trying something new, here is what you can do. AND, it is perfectly legal. There is a site called livecdlist.org and it will literally list hundreds of what is called LiveCDs, LiveDVDs, and LiveUSB titles. Titles in this case meaning the different type of operating systems. Majority of them are a form of Linux. I have used this site before and it worked out well for me.

Here is what you do. Go to the livecdlist.org website and download any one of them. Majority of the time, you will have to burn the ISO image to a CD or DVD via burner software. Shutdown you computer, put the CD/DVD in your drive, ensure that you are able to boot from cd drive, then turn computer on and see the new operating system in action. This action does not install anything over your current Windows installation. You do have to option to do so.

I would use another drive to do this. Just incase you don’t like the finish product.

Here is a screenshot of the website that was taken on the 24th of September.
