Default Re: Considering Linux

you download an FTP program and upload the same way in Linux.

Java is fine on windows, far as i know it works the same on all 3 platforms.

Fonts im not sure on

theres many media players in Linux, XMMS is a lot like Winamp.



and of course there are some things you can do in windows and not in linux, just like you cant do em in macs. altho many things made for windows can be gotten to work in linux, even if its not perfect.

at the start you get the same hasles you do when using a mac, you find software and programs you want to download but they're windows only, you want to play the new games but they're windows only, maybe if lucky a linux/mac versions come out later on.

when you get used to it, same as anything its fine. But poor pc users the ones gekko mentioend with all the viruses spyware and bugs, usually end up having the same problems on all platforms, you need to know what your doing for anything to work right.


Which is also why its best to at least at the start have a duel boot with windows/linux, its easier to learn linux when you can go back to windows when you need something.
