Please Please answer this question in beginner/newbie talk because i don’t understand a lot of the terminal talk. P.S. try to avoid answering by saying i have to use the terminal to open ndiswrapper. But if that’s the only way then please explain.

I’m a beginner and I really want to switch to Linux.

My new comp:

Dell Dimension E521 AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core 3.8Ghz Computer

512MB, Shared DDR2,533MHZ 2 Dimm

160GB SATA II Hard Drive 7200RPM 3.0 GBPS

Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE 3D Graphics Card
Will I be able to install it easily if I order this DVD? The comp currently runs Win XP Home.
Here is a link to this DVD:

Hey, I just build new custom pc. I am thinking about trying out OPENSUSE Linux, (that was suggested to me) and i was wondering, for a Linux beginner how hard it is to get all my drivers updated, getting wireless usb card working, and then playing games like World of Warcraft? is it difficult? thanks!

Confused? Start with this video: www.youtube.com Since I’ve gotten a lot of questions asking what Linux is and how to try it out, I thought I’d do a several-part series providing an introduction to Linux.

I’m a seasoned Windows pro, but a linux newbie.

I’d like to switch, but I’m having trouble settling on one distro.

I’ve got it narrowed down to Debian, Gentoo, or Ubuntu. I find that Fedora is a bit too “ambitious” or me, but I really like the kind of quality control Debian has.

Thoughts?
