I have got a couple of questions about the Linux Operatiing system. I recently started to play around with the beta of Lornhorn, and I wanted to check out Linux because I have heard good things about it. Here are some of my main questions.
1.) Are most Windows based programs, games, and file extentions compatible with Linux?
2.) What is the latest version of Linux?
3.) Is it free? Trial?...
4.) I would partition my hard drive to install Linux, how big of a partition is recommended? (I have a 200gb hd, so no worries really.)
5.) Why are there so many different 'names' that I have heard of...
6.) As far as knowledge goes, would you recommend me trying Linux? Or should I just not deal with it unless I am totally interested into it?
-thanks in advanced, and I am sorry if these questions have already been answered recently, I could not find any results.
