Every other forum has rules about these posts because there's such a glut of them, and yes, I could go read a stickied thread elsewhere, but here I am not doing that.

How would someone with no computer skills get acquainted with the OS? What version would you recommend to the hopeless novice? Can I keep windows on my PC and run the new OS or a practice version of it in a partitioned space while I learn? Can someone with minimal skills/time/patience be happy with a unix-like OS?

i see references to ferdora and debian so im guessing it will be a more general sub till it grows?

yes you can dual boot. I have heard a lot of good things about Mint for newer users. I use Ubuntu atm.

Dual booting as we speak!
