Getting rid of windows shell
TucknDar:
I've been using LiteStep since as long as I can remember, without any major problems. Maybe there's been a couple of occasions where some app seems to have relied on explorer being set as shell, but apart from that (which I don't even remember the details of) no problems.
Paul Keith:
Just out of curiosity, which do you think is much easier for desktop users to adapt to? Migrating to Linux or using a shell replacement?
Since I've discovered both, I've been conflicted on which one to start REALLY learning first.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Think of it this way:
A shell replacement is your present lover decked out in skimpy lingerie. Linux is a whole new lover.
(Bet you won't forget THAT analogy anytime soon! ;D)

A shell replacement is your present lover decked out in skimpy lingerie. Linux is a whole new lover wearing even skimpier lingerie and has a strong immunity towards STDs but is unfortunately wearing a chastity belt whose hole requires more than inserting a key

Fix'd :D
I guess I just want a minimalistic desktop that I can understand and have great FREE alternatives to the applications I'm used to. (which so far are available in Linux in the form of java apps requiring installation from source)
