Well, you can tell by my name I thought I knew a helluva lot about computers, but I've used windows all my life :(
So, does anyone know of a good site, or someone on these forums, that can help me out. It took me 1 hour to do all that history clearing stuff, and I can't find any good sites. Also, any free GOOD OS's? I can't afford a switch right now.

Why ask for a good free OS when you also say that you can't afford to switch right now?
I'm a little confused :confused:

when i meant i cant afford to switch, i meant i dont have the MONEY to pay for a switch, which is why i asked for a free one.
as for the sites, i mean to, umm..err, help me unlearn what i have learned about windows etc, plus, i was always a little clueless on comps, so, i just wanna know more. i know some programming languages, i just want to know more about computers in general

Well almost 3 weeks ago I installed SuSE 7.3 Pro ($70.00) and have found that there is a ton to learn but that everyone seams to be willing to help. As far as sites to learn from. Start at www.linux.org or www.google.com
I've read alot of people say they like Mandrake and they seam to like. I believe you can get a copy from www.download.com (that is a good site!) I've learned alot from friends online. I use yahoo messenger alot (installs easy on linux) to talk to a friend I met by looking for online people with interests in Linux.
Also if you are wondering about a good book to read Voidman has talked about a few books under http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000084
Anyway hope this helps.
