If all you do is browse the internet, check a few mails and use office then something lie Ubuntu will probably work perfectly out the box but if you want to do anything a bit special chances are you will get into the realms of command line work. One of the good things about linux is the amount of HOWTOs out there. If you want to have a play around - you could try using VMWare player and running it in that to see what its like | |

Try running linux and windows on a dual boot first. That way you can still have a play with linux and see if its right for you. | |

I wouldn't say linux was as easy to live with as windows. You'll most definately have somekind of problem whilst setting your system back up imo. | |

You can use Latex too which is a pretty good piece of software if you learn how to use it... | |
