For me using computer in home comes with 2 options - either use it
with a pirated copy of Windows XP or use linux instead. In the
beginning I choose the first option and plagued with Million types of
VIRUSES and monthly formatting of hard disk. Last year I have decided
to use HAMMER to get rid of VIRUSES and before doing so I thought give
linux a try ( about which all my friends and else have told me that
only computer scientists can run a linux and not an end user like me -
primarily because linux only comes with CLI and not with a Graphical
User Interface and I have to take a certificate course to learn those
"COMMANDS").
Then I myself Installed UBUNTU 9.04 using a MOUSE and rather getting
rid of viruses, I actually get rid of the Windows partition itself.
Since then I am using linux in my PC WITHOUT any " NOT SO USERS
FRIENDLY" problems (Actually, I don't realise what all these fuss
about "USERS FRIENDLINESS" are).

This August I have installed Fdora 13 and really likes it with its
various security tools and the command line software install package -
YUM and one of its plug-ins PRESTO( which reduced the size of
downloadable software considerably). I am still exploring Fedora
13(More true Linux than Ubuntu???) and I'm lovin it.
Fedora13 rocks.
