I'm New To Linux & Like To Know What Version Would Be Best. I've Heard Ubuntu.

Hi, my name is Daniel & I've been considering trying out Linux. A friend of mine says he's got Linux's Ubuntu, & says he really likes it. I've got experience building computers, & Computer Networking. I've got a Desktop w/a free (empty, unformatted) 150 GB Seagate HDD, so I'd like to try using that HDD for a version of Linux. I'm running Win. 7 Ultimate on my primary drive, but I had to install the Win. 7 Ult. 32 bit disc for it to run successfully. I'm considering a dual boot system.

The System I built has an ASUS (A8N-SLI) 64 bit, Socket 939, NVidia N-Force4 Motherboard, w/an AMD, Athlon XP 4000+ 64 bit CPU. I've got 2 ASUS/NVidia G-Force N6800GT PCI Express Graphics Cards, w/256 MB DDR3 RAM each (using my SLI). I've got 2-1 GB 184 pin sticks of Corsair 3200+, 400 Mhz, CL-2 DDR-RAM. I' ve also got a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Sound System (4.1), w/internal PCI Card & external control box that runs w/Fire Wire. I've also got an Acer 24" Digital monitor, & 1 CD/DVD Burner,& 1 NEC Dual Layer DVD Burner.
I went into detail, just in case my system has something requiring a certain version of Linux. My main problem is, I don't know anything about coding, so I guess I need a version of Linux w/a robust GUI. I thank you in advance for your time & consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. -)

Where Can I Find Keyboard Shortcuts On Macbook Air For Use In Linux (Fedora)

Hi, all! So I am taking a Linux O/S class for my degree requirements. The book we are using is "Linux Bible" - 8th ed. by Christopher Negus. Per our instructor, I am accessing Fedora via Oracle VM VirtualBox. Negus refers to a Windows keyboard when he instructs us to enter, for example, Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a virtual console. Where can I find a list of MAC keyboard equivalent key combos or will I have to assign them myself?

My instructor was no help with this question and told me I would have to scour the Internet which i have to no avail.

I have an assignment due and I can't follow along until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

Newer Computers

I've been using/testing Zorin 9, Mint 12, and Ubuntu 14 on 2 older computers for about 2 weeks now and I'm completely impressed with the look and feel especially of Zorin and Ubuntu. My problem is that I also have 2 newer computers that I am unable to install or even test any of the 3 on due to I imagine video incompatibilities. I get to the point where you choose the partition, and I just choose the defaults and then I get this sort of Linux version of the BSOD. I've tried all three in different configurations but nothing is working. I figure I just need current Video Drivers for Linux but there's no way, at least that I know of to update them cause Windows doesn't recognize the "run" command and I can't get into Linux to update it there. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank You

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

(initramfs) [ 37.512065] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

Installing Linux Alongside Windows 8 (For Now) Question

Good day everyone,

I'm currently a student and as far as I'm aware I still need windows for some program I need, but I am going over to Linux.
(Thus I'm running Windows 8 at this moment)

Today I was going to install Ubuntu 14.04.01 alongside Windows 8, everything went well till I hit the 4th step (Installation type page) of the installation:

A message like follows showed:
"This computer currently has Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) on it. What would you like to do?"

There are then 3 options available:
1) Install Ubuntu alongside Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7)
2) Replace Debian GNU/Linux (Kali Linux 1.0.7) with Ubuntu
3 and 4 is greyed out.
5) Something else (You can create resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu.

I just want to make sure what option to choose, I cant afford to lose all my data and windows.

Problem: Showing Kali Linux as current OS and not Windows 8.

Possible reason for showing Kali Linux as current OS:
I have a live CD of Kali Linux and ran it a few times in the past, but according to my knowledge it shouldn't have changed anything.

Maybe the 1st option is still the right one even though the current OS isn't listed right? Or the 3rd option is like a manual setting I guess.

Thanks for the time reading and helping!
