Hi,

Why I will probably go Linux on my Windows 7 laptop.  The desktop will probably 
need to stay on Windows because of the other stuff.  I don’t want a dual boot.

What disto would you consider that makes it easy for inexperienced Linux users. 
Seems like every time I installed Ubuntu, I ended up breaking it beyond 
repair... 

Any GIS friendly distros to recommend?

Ça va bien aller!
