From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's the best thing windows offers, besides maybe full virtualisation. I use it daily at work, but sharing files is annoying. I'd like to just access the files of the windows system, documents dir should be the windows docs and so on. It somewhat works with symlinks, but it still sucks. Git is slow with these linked dirs too, can't create Fifos, fileperms suck, and so on.
Thank you very much i think im going to just go with the tried and true dual boot and slowly move to debian.
Good luck. If everything goes well you won't have to start windows again.
