As far as I'm concerned, the guy is obviously a Microsoft/Windows hater. But that doesn't bother me. Not too long ago I was starting to look into Linux for no good reason.

A good reason, though not completely thought out or finished yet, is in this brain somewhere. But you can't blame a guy for wanting to do something for no good reason, can you? As long as it hurts no one else, why can't I do what I want? Up to and including driving ridiculously fast to loud music on an empty road.

I am simply asking anyone with a good understanding of the Linux universe how much trouble it would be to switch. And more specifically, which version would be best for a home user like me. I'm not your average barely computer literate schmoe (sp?), but I'm no programmer, either.
