I've download it and currently running it alongside windows 7 and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. It has it's advantages and disadvantages but that goes for every operating system. Here's the link if anybody wants to download it.

Is it user friendly, for a beginner...
should i install it with my windows or on an external drive?
thank for you advise.
If external how much space for it??
I tried it and its good..... I tried the wbui installer and you can install from windows.

You can load it of a usb stick if you don't want to dual bootQuote:

I haven't had much hands one with this, but the last time I used it I was impressed. It was clean with a nice interface and didn't come with all the rubbish windows has. I found it good for web browsing, media files. I haven't really taken it past that so I couldn't comment any further. I can say though after reading various articles it's used widely and has it's benefits. It would be something worth having on a spare memory stick which i'll be doing personally or on a partitioned hard drive.Quote:
