Tinyxp + everything else is easier because everything is precompiled for you.
Many times I went back to windows.
Still dual boot to win7 for some games.
But I can't see buying a new HD for every little project I do so live USB seemed the way to go.
With small ssd prices dropping I'll probably end up using tinyxp or tiny 7 for some things again.
But the pclinuxos forum is very helpful and friendly.
I first tried Ubuntu maybe 6yrs ago when I was new to Linux.
If I asked a question on the forums there I was told to "RTFM".
Well I did search the forums but if I don't know what I'm searching for....
They weren't like that at pclinuxos so I stuck with them.
The os has really improved over the years.
I have my mom on it also.
No more " I have this thing that won't go away on my screen" phone calls. Lol.

All good. Ubuntu refused to work. I beat my head against it for two days with no luck. Mint worked just fine, first time. Just finished updating everything. Now to load up my work apps! I've never used Linux before so I plan to work my way through a couple of "for dummies" type intro manuals.
