[LBo] Best linux to install

[Robin Byaruhanga]

Like BERT said,i also started with Xandros and its fun,becoz its like
having windows there running.however there is some few different like
the directory structure, and some commands ofcourse.i really found one
big problem,its very slow at start,but faster when it start,also
stable,not complicate at all,no touch permissions required.U and her
will like it.try it.Robin
