Everyone here in the Middle Kingdom seems to run Win boxes -- either 2K or XP. Vista is available too for a little over a buck. Comp sci students know GNU/Linux but end up running Windows. So do I, for the sake of compatibility. When I do run GNU/Linux, it is off of a DSL live CD.
In my reading, it seems more people favor Ubuntu. Someone has asked me to teach them GNU/Linux. Which would be a better system for a newcomer to start with? She has a degree in comp sci. It is easy for me to download any distribution.
