i'm going to be buying two computers in the next couple of weeks, and am hoping to get some feedback on linux as compared windows.

to begin, i'm more or less hopeless with computers (see my threads in this forum) and i won't use this OS if it is significantly less user friendly than windows.

i've never even seen a computer running linux....does it have a similar interface?

on linux, can you run all the same programs that you can on windows...including MS office?

will new computers have ubuntu installed?

for those of you using linux....what are the best and worst aspects of this OS?

thanks.
