Im going to be installing linux alongside Vista in an attempt to move away from the wormhole that is windows, an just to try and live without some windows products i actually enjoy. But i have a problem… i do not know what distribution to get. I understand that they are all roughly the same with some tweaks, but i can find a good enough comparison of the main ones like ubuntu and fedora. I want the one that is most malleable to what im doing and what i want, such as the ability to change interfaces and stuff. I am a web programmer, and i also make animations on flash ( i may have to use windows for that) i do like my games, but i know i can just play them on windows. i know its hard understanding what i want but thank you for at last reading and please answer i wan to know! thanks
