Hi Richard, This thread has been very interesting to me as I'm considering getting a computer to run Linux. The problem I'm having is illustrated by the snippet from your post below.
I'm a computer savvy person and worked with them most of my working life but I know nothing about Linux and really have no desire to spend much time installing and configuring an OS. I can buy a Mac or a PC, switch it on and it just boots up and runs. But where do I buy a computer that runs Linux and what version of Linux (if that's the right term) I need? I have pretty basic needs for this machine. Aside from running Livecode on it, I mostly need a web browser (I use Google tools for just about all my daily needs) plus some way of playing music. I already have a Windows laptop that I only use for testing out the LC apps I develop on my Mac. I don't really want another computer. It seems like Apple has just about shut the door on running anything but OS X on their computers. Can I install Linux on my Windows computer a dual boot it somehow? I'm sure these are pretty basic questions for people who are familiar with the Linux world, but I think they illustrate why the use of Linux is not more widespread, no matter what advantages it has over other OS's.
