Sooo, Im finally sick and tired of Windows. Been using it for years, my happiness with it gradually declined, and Vista has me banging my head against the wall (DRM sucks hardcore). Windows just isn't worth it to me anymore.
I've tried to switch over to linux a few times on dual boot (Mandrake).... and ran into one major road block every time: I have wireless internet, and my wireless card was a Linksys WUSB54G, which did not seem to have any support whatsoever. I've done a few google searches, and it seems to have support at http://prism54.org/ However, I have recently upgraded to a WUSB300N (Also linksys), and I would rather not go backwards... I cant seem to find support on this, does anyone know if it does exist? Also, does this Prism thingey come with distros, or is it something I would need on a CD beforehand?
A few other random questions as well:
~Best way to set up a dual boot system with linux?? (Should I use the windows boot loader, or linux?)
~How much space will I need for the linux partition (With room for programs I may need, etc)?
~Wheres a good place to learn about the command line?
~Any other roadblocks I may run into that I should be aware of now?
And, I may as well ask the question Im sure you've all heard a million times:
What distro is good for me? (It looks like fedora, and ubuntu? What are the differences?)
Any help here would be greatly appreciated! [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img] :lol: [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]
