[plug] Help convert to Linux

[Garry]

Hi Walter,

I'd echo the thoughts on Ubuntu, perhaps the Mint derivative because of 
the multimedia support built in.

I'm a fan of Linux Mint Mate, but not wanting to start a distro war I 
won't promote it.. I guess the question to consider is what will you be 
doing with it?

As has been previously asked, how is your internet connection? If you 
have ADSL or NBN a 1.6GB download won't bother you too much.

Regards

Garry
