which vs. of linux is most like windows?
I am using ubuntu now but I am considering changing my setup.
It isn't that I mind using the command line in linux just that it feels more like win3.1(the look of it) and not like 9x +, I am dual booting w2k and hardy heron. The only reason that I am keeping w2k and not switching to xp is $90 for an os that the support will end soon and vista is crap.

You get Linux Mint here

and open SUSE here
If you're going to download suse then you better wait for 30 day coz suse 11 is coming out with awesome KDE4.

Most versions of Linux will support the KDE GUI interface. This looks and works alot like Windows. If you really want the OS to do all of the work for you, look into Linspire/Freespire. They've pretty much got it set up where everything is point and click, and you really never have to look at a shell prompt. But, really, if you're running Linux, getting your hands dirty is half the fun!
Source(s): I run Slackware, but have run linspire before.
