I have recently installed a version on linux known as Ubuntu. It is known for being the easiest to use, and it didn't take me long to set it up and use it. I am very impressed with this program so much that I decided to make a log of my activities as I set up and explore this slick app.
Ubuntu is based off of Debian, another version of linux. The purpose of Ubuntu is to give the user an easier interface and ease of use. I must say, aside from the command lines this is a very easy OS to get used to. Installing and running programs is done a little differently, but I'll go into that in future entries.
Ubuntu comes in a few different versions, Edubuntu and Kubuntu, They are both similar but kubuntu uses a slightly different interface. Edubuntu is for schools, etc.
The interface is a very nice looking GUI. Everything is done in point and click style until you need to execute a command. It comes with Firefox, a web browser, GAIM, a client through which you can sign onto any of your IM accounts, a ton of games, and many other helpful apps. I have as of yet to figure out how to install the plugins for firefox.
