I'm just sayin. Feel free to ask anything. I'm itching to tell someone what to do. ;o)

Don't know exactly what the opposite is, but I believe a newbie who isn't in jail is called a Freebie.
Maybe...

Hey, I'm a potential new user of Linux. Got a Question.
On April 3rd, 2008 psypho says:
And as a potential new user, I've been looking around and researching Linux for quite awhile - well actually for the last 2 days or so. I've found a listing of possible "distributors" through a website called linux.org.
To explain my needs, I am a player of World of Warcraft and an amateur artist. My computer is an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ 2.01 GHz, 2.50 GB of RAM, ASUS K8 Motherboard, and I use Windows XP Corporate Edition (Cracked) in a Maxter 152 GB Hard Drive, with additional IBM Deskstar 19.1 GB Hard Drive, and I also have a WD 232 GB External Hard Drive. I have around 109 GB of free space on the Maxter that I use for my WinXP OS on.
What I need to know is could you tell me or recommend what to get for a Linux OS on my machine, and how would I partition my Maxter Hard Drive, and how much space would it literally take?

I am new to linux as well. Went windows free this year. I use Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com) and think it is awesome for new users. I think 10/15GB of HD space would be enough for you.
Also, for playing WoW, I purchased CXGames available from http://www.codeweavers.com/. Good Luck.
