Q. What linux works the closest to Windows and is also free?

A. I recommend Linux Mint 6 (Main Edition) which you will find familiar and it works pretty much 'out of the box'.

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 6 can be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.

What Linux app will allow you to view a webcam from a windows user?
Q. Me and my boyfriend are trying to see my cam. He has Linux though and I run on through Windows. What can he download to be able to see my camera?

A. I would suggest doing a little bit of research on the model of web cam, as you can usually find some step by step tutorials for how to use the camera in Linux.

For example, I have an old Linksys camera and I can use VLC to use it, as well as a few other commands which I found when I searched for the name of the camera and the type of Linux I was using.

Which is the most popular Linux to download?
Q. I want to download linux to my pc. Which is the best and most popular version to use?

A. To begin with I recommend looking at a LiveCD.

There are two worth taking an immediate look at being Linux Mint 6 and Ubuntu 9.04

Linux is now in a position of offering a viable alternative to proprietary platforms and more than capable of offering a full desktop experience.
