Linucks

Yo, I've never used Linux in my life but I've heard good things about it. I was wondering what version I should use. It's for an old Satellite Pro. I need it to be able to support all the bells and whistles what come with it. Which mainly consist of the IR port. I mainly use it for typing and listening to music while typing. What would all y'all suggest?

there's too damn many people saying "I'm sick of winders, I'm switching to linux" on this board, and they all create new goddamn threads. READ THE FUCKING BOARD FIRST. that, and just do your own fucking research.
