Greetings all at Linux(org)!
I am here because I want to 'upgrade' all my family & household PC's from Windows to Linux.
(I have Win 8.1 and hate it; all 10 other PC's run Win XP 32 or x64, some multi-boot)
In my previous life I used to be a HP-UX sysadmin, so the CLI is no problem for me, but times have changed.
My only previous Linux experience dates from Slackware ver 9.
Thus I am looking to use any of the Slackware-based distro's. (because I'd like to be a Slacker!)
Currently researching my most 'safe' option to enable wife and kids to still use their PC's, but not with MS.Windows. AND I need to make the transition as painless as possible; ~ no CLI/command promt for them.
I plan to dualboot their PC's to accomodate their off-line Windows games, but all on-line actions via Linux.
Any suggestions welcome.
Hope to digitally meet again on the forums.
