Posted April 28, 201410 yr Good afternoon everyone. I found this forum through the Tapatalk app searching for a Linux forum. I am working on my BA in Computer Science and have come across Linux a few times in some of my classes. I have a new laptop I just finished upgrading that is currently running Windows 8.1 Pro. I also have an older laptop that's running 2gb of mem and has a single core AMD processor. It currently has Windows 7 and runs pretty slow. I am wanting to install Linux on the slow machine as its only OS and eventually install it on my fast laptop as a dual boot system. I am looking for suggestions on what version of Linux to use. I have only really had experience in Ubuntu. I have glanced at Mint and Arch Linux. I am wanting to learn command line operations and use the terminal for accessing programs and most other functions... I am wanting to use the mouse as little as possible. I will be using Linux mostly for python programming, word processing for note taking and writing assignments in class, using the web, and just really leaning how to efficiently navigate and use Linux. I am eventually going to setup a small Linux server farm for file sharing, internet, and firewall function. Thanks for your time and input!
