So I installed XUbuntu 11.10 During the install process I got the choice of overwriting windows or installing alongsi... |

| Ok so I am going to give Linux a trial period of a month - If I manage to get by in that time without having to boot into windows every day I might stick with linux - I have always liked the Idea of LInux but loved the masive choice of software windows has. I think I will go wth XUbuntu (a light ver... |

| Some of you have recommended Ubuntu, I heard somewhere that Ubuntu is good for Mac users and PClinuxOS for former windows users, is that so? Also what is the experience of some of you Linux users when it comes to devices that you have bought - is it easy to get the software to get them to work with ... |

| Dont get me wrong I would like to move to LInux but two things stop me. 1 The great and very wide choice of apps on wndows, I like to video edit and like Sony vegas - I looked at the linux alternatives and they were not as good. I also like Photoshop and the Gimp is not as good. Life would just be h... |

| It may be because Bash scripting in Linux/unix is very popular and very powerful. (OK, you can't do GUI's, but pretty much everything else) Really, all IronAHK needs to be is a GUI running program that interfaces with Bash imo. David you could just as easily use CMD or batch scritps on Windows then... |
