A must for anyone considering abandoning Windows or simply getting serious about Linux. Great delivery, good price.

I really wish that I had read the single one star rating before I had bought this product. I expected to get things that were freely available, but nicely packaged. With four CD/DVDs one could put a lot of good information in this package. I was surprised to find the library consisted of less than a dozen (small ~1-2M) PDF files. The DVD was short and poorly done.

I'm a Linux user... and looked forward to this set. Up-front it seemed like it should do well.

However, installation was a nightmare. It should have installed easily and well. I was installing Linux to a 32 gig memory stick. The result was it crashing my hard drive (which it shouldn't have even touched) and forcing re-installation of Windows.

Purchasing a magazine distro from the local bookstore resulted in first-time, no problems installation. So whether this was an isolated experience or not I cannot tell for a certainty, but I wasn't impressed with his particular distro.
