[QUOTE="Gaurish, post: 1016983, member: 3415"] Linux is completely different from windows, you might have some trouble getting used to 'new ways of doing old things'. once you get used to it, it would be best os for you:hap2: 1) from mentioned tasks, you can do torrents & movies without any problems. 2) In Linux there has a free alternative called [URL="http://why.openoffice.org/"]OpenOffice[/URL], which has all the functions of commercial MS office. I would recommend you to switch to that. you can also run MS office in wine but the experience is not that great. 3) C# & ASP.net are microsoft products hence are only available for windows platform. however there is [URL="http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page"]Mono Project[/URL] which promises to port these into Linux. Perhaps a better idea would running WindowsXP inside Linux using Virtualization(hint:virtualbox) 4) Lastly, For Gaming you should stick to windows. Linux is not for Gaming:P For Distro, Try [URL="http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/"]Distro Chooser[/URL] I personnally would suggest [URL="http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php"]Linux Mint - main edition[/URL] or [URL="http://www.opensuse.org/en/"]OpenSuse KDE edition[/URL]. any one of them 1) Yes, its possible but only if with the program is cross-platform like firefox. which is available for Windows and as well as Linux. 2) all for data Photos,Videos,Documents can be migrated and read under Linux without any problems. It would be good idea if you can list your hardware configuration so that we can tell you if your hardware is supported on linux or not. Linux is all about Community support.
