Got Linux to boot! 1547

A new user is not going to remove the dock nor the menu from OS X. They might remove dock icons, such as the volume and the monitor settings, but the menu itself will always be available. This does not seem to be the case with GNOME - though I admit I am still very, very new to it. Am I wrong about this?

That is where I am ... though if someone with a history of trolling were to talk in a reasonable way I would give them a chance... though I have been burned by that a couple of times.

I see them as bullies... in the real world they would run and hide the moment the light is shone on them... behind their keyboard there is almost nothing you can do to them (nor am I suggesting there should be). But the relative anonymity allows them the freedom to continue to be horrid little cretins far longer than they could be face to face.

As a Linux newbie, I think I will stick with the big guys at least until I have a basic feel for them. Probably best supported as well, and I am not just looking for me, but for people who are relatively new to computers... and they need all the support they can get. :)

Fair enough... see, I am a tinkerer... I would have likely tried soon.

As I type Gnoppix and Ubuntu are now both downloading. In my ignorance of Linux I tried Gentoo... and found that I could not even get to a GUI... which for my purposes here is a must.

Thanks. I will likely try Knoppix soon as well.

Yes. The list is appreciated. Thanks.
