If you were a new linux user, how would you set up your system?

by kaicremata . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

i’m committed, new system (intel duo e6600/2 gig of DRAM/nvidia 7300le/250gb HD/20″dell e207fwp) coming in next week, and i want to go lynux.

I am pretty sold on the KDE office, which is important, as i am a good document generator (on a killer dell 5110 color laser which dims the light when it kicks in). i am liking the beryl interface, although out of fairness, i have to save i have never touched a line of linux code in my life.

my system comes with vista, i don’t want to use it all. i don’t want to ever use msword again, it is horrid, i like thunderbird over outlook, am a happy firefox user and i voip (viatalk), which has turned out to be a fine value.

i am looking for some constructive path directions for distros, painless integration, worthwhile plugins and oh, we do like bells and whistles…for a purpose.

impress me with your experience, show me the way…and i thank you in advance for your input.

heck, if i could some good response, i’ll even post my picture up (no conceit in our family)
