When I tried to switch for the first time from windows to Linux I felt left alone. The web was not what it now uses to be, tutorials and help documents were scarce and one had to have a friend who could help or try the trial and error way to get Linux installed and configured. Linux is becoming more user friendly and lots of tutorials and help sites pop up that help beginners and guide them through the basic installation and configuration process.
One of these websites that I can recommend is linux online. They´ve written an extensive tutorial that explains many Linux concepts and tries to answer the question if you should make the switch to Linux (or dual-boot).

I just installed linux Fedora Core 4 on my Laptop…So far it’s a hate love relationship. I love that it runs on minimal system resources but I can’t install any software. Trying to get my Wireless Drivers to work, well, I don’t want to get into that…Linux to me seems a bit unorganized, as a whole, and there are so many different flavors that if they would just combine forces, have a standard, then they would at least stand up to windows. I’ll keep playing with it and see if I like it. But so for no good.
