Thread: Drivers..?

-

i have dell dimension c521 desktop, service tag 9f1w5c1.
came preloaded xp. got blue screen of death , freaked out.
used xp cd use recovery console command chkdsk /r seemed fix problem.
turned on desktop after recovery console, got trojan horse without doing anything.
i'm thinking changing operating system linux.
operating system user friendly , easy pick up?
plus, ask because need know neccesary drivers needed desktop work smoothly. on dell.com, drivers have specific computer windows xp, , vista.
drivers needed linux, if install linux?
mind all, i'm complete noob linux , don't know thing please nice.

which version of linux "easiest pick , user friendly" question if ask 20 people 20 answers. isn't because wrong (though trolls claim otherwise) because user friendly complete matter of opinion. example consider windows user unfriendly 1 reason no longer use it. recommend ubuntu if you're migrating windows first time. it's similar enough people can figure things out (especially forums), without carrying on bad computing habits windows teaches people. in regards driver issue, in linux 'go online, download file , install it' in windows. need located within repositories can accessed software pre-installed downloads/installs need. many drivers 'work' without needing else. drivers, drivers few video cards, not available in repositories @ point becomes harder , takes more work. posts on forum reporting problems installing drivers come from. before installing os recommend using livecd, won't give speed & capabilities installing ubuntu give give 'taste' make it's want.
