The distribution is ideal for Windows users who want to experiment with Linux, or are thinking of changing operating systems. Of course, I should mention that if you want to start with Linux now, you'd better try MX . Those of you who are really thinking about it, it would be a good idea to read the following publications:

• Linux from Windows; where to start from;
• Linux: How and Why to Migrate From Windows
• Linux what you need to know before adopting the operating system
