Good Sunny...
also try SuSE Linux which is great for beginners
IMO, One should switch from the present system only if he is not happy with it & is facing problems

This applies In general.
so if someone is happy with Windows xp, why should he change.

Lolz, If someone is happy with windows, i'd say he doesnt know the meaning of happiness.

Well, jokes apart ,
Sometimes we get accustomed to the system we're using,
And even though we aren't completely satisfied with it, we continue with it.
IMO trying new things let's you find out what you are most comfortable with.

Maybe true in WIndows sense, But if you follow the same regime on Linux. there will be a lot of troubles.

As there are various types Distros,package mgt software,Desktop Environments,window Managers etc etc.

In short you will never finish trying

^Lolz, not entirely true.
I started using Linux around 2k4.
Lemme list all the distro's i've tried, before i settled with zenwalk..
Xandros, Lycoris , Redhat 9 , Vector , Ubuntu & Kubuntu , Linspire , Fedora.

All this in less than 3 months IIRC.
I found Zen with Zenwalk and settled.
And there's not much of a problem if you ask me.
 
Right now im installing fedora KDE:D:D
Lets see what fedora has got to offer.

Fedora is SUCKY!!!
Installed and configured ubuntu again.Plz tell me any good sites like gnome-look.org where i can find good themes:D

Better stick with Ubuntu, get to know how everything in Linux world works for about a month or so before going on distro-changing spree.!;) And you might want to try out Sabayon linux.It comes with EVERYTHING installed [even a few games like quake in home version] and looks quite sexy too.!:D And yeah, it does have KDE.

Just set the "Grid Resolution" to max(64) in "Wobbly Windows" setting inside "CompizConfig Settings Manager" :)

Sabayon Linux looks cool. I Must try it......

It looks cool and Im trying it out in Virtualbox atm. I seem to enjoy it but there are a number of facts you need to be aware of before you even try Sabayon 1.1 PE.
