Hey !!!
after working on Linux from some days just thought to put a review about Linux itself !!!
Starting with Linux is often quite complex for newbie’s.
Here’s a list of common troubles…
- Selecting distro
- Switching troubles like partitioning
- Hardware trouble – including non-supporting hardware & driver problems
- Installing Software….not as easy as .exe files in windows package called wine sorts out that problem + rpm packages also really easy to install
- Learning a little bit command line parameters
Since being Member of Team Granular selecting ditro was NO trouble at all.Offcource i selected our Granular for starting 
Partitioing looks a bit complex but after backing up WHOLE data, its not that much difficult to give try 
And help docs coming with distro’s really help ………
Hardware is always a trouble………most often non supporting sound cards create trouble, even i was having trouble with my ethernet card’s driver initially but in latest released its driver problem was solved.
Actually having driver still not able to install it was my trouble.After much struggle i gave up but later got that solved
Installing Software is a bit complex type task BUT package installers always make work easy + most of distro’s comes with already installed software’s which really saves time in installing in windows ….
So actually truly saying starting is a “bit” bitter !
but after having its setup………its really really better.It takes some time in sorting out some basic startup problems but later its really like fun, easy to use, highly stable OS
The excellent features i observed in Linux:
- Highly stable
- Much much more control over your PC
- Supports old hardware….even is wrking @ gr8 speed on my 600Mhz computer
- No hassle of maintaining anti virus, anti virus & other security software and its updates….
- Gr8 support from Forums……….actually i personally feel Linux has more support then Windows.Every trouble can be easily solved from that specific distro forum + many other open source communities.
And even many more……which you will observe when you will switch !!!
So finally speaking
Although switching to linux can prove to be a little hassle initially but truly saying it really deserves …….
The features of Linux are much much more the only thing it takes is intially time.
So what are you waiting for ……….start !!!

This is an article with your honest feelings, I like it. Linux might prove to be a “little bit” difficult to use at the first time, but then that is mostly because of the “platform” shift, as you know that most people are too used to living the Windows-way.
