If you are asking these questions, you aren't ready for it. I was a full blown computer nerd and going from XP to Kubuntu (what I ran for a while) was pretty damn hard. I thought I knew a lot about the workings of computers, but that was in the windows world. XP is compatible with everything, no tweaking needed. In my experience with linux nothing works right off the start and requires major tweaking.

You are thinking, oh, I can tweak the stuff to work just fine. No, it's more than that. I am talking about editing the kernel to get nothing more than a sound driver to work and recompiling it. It was a bitch. I could do it, I just didn't want to deal with it so I went back to windows/linux dual boot. I haven't booted into linux in like 2 months.
