How can it be slower than Windows. Anyways, go back and use Vista... we here are more than happy with our Linux distro that run like dogs (especially compared to Vista at $400 a piece) I don’t believe you ever installed any linux distro.

Maybe it seems to take forever to configure for people new to linux, but the majority of the time this is because they are new and don't know what to do, they already know windows, so they can "configure" (in the small ay that's possible) that more quickly. They then make the mistake of thinking windows is easier to configure. I use both windows and linux, windows out of necessity for solidworks and matlab/labview. But windows installs take me much longer. After installing, i then have to trawl the internet for anti virus and firewalls, then drivers, then hunt through cds for programs, then with everything installed it runs like a dog, I run open office on there because M$ office runs like a dog (and why pay for a slower office suite?). Then i go through services, delete the extra unnecessary ones, get rid of as much of the excess bloat as i can... then i go to bed because te night is gone. What’s slow about open office? i just timed mine to open write from scratch (with gimp, amsn, and firefox with multiple tabs open also running) at 9sec… thats around 1/4 what M$ word manages to load in. for additional info, i’m using kde 4.1 on a 2.4GHz dual core amd processor, 2Gb of DDR2 800, Arch linux installed and fully configured (took all of a few hours from scratch.. and its supposedly one of the more intensive setups).

However. I'm lost at which LINUX Distributions I will use. Don't even know what KDE & GNOME means & how they differ & what is Xfce? I have around 12 computers that I plan to migrate but will try one. Then if everything's ok will do the rest. I want to migrate from MS Windows to LINUX. However. I’m lost at which LINUX Distributions I will use.

I don't believe there are any computing solutions that supply instant or complete gratification. If you use KDE or Gnome you will have some overhead. I use Xubuntu, it has the Xfce desktop. It is lean and mean and pretty snappy, even with openoffice. You might try assigning various programs to open at startup on one or more of the virtual desktops. That way you can just choose the desktop with the program already up and running. Sounds like a workflow problem rather than a program response problem (my two cents). Also seems you just expect Linux to be a better MS Windows, (not going to happen). David, how fast is fast?
