XP To Linux

[Step Up 3™]

I wanted to install Win7, but something went wrong and I couldn't do it. So, I'm thinking about switching to Linux. I've only had Linux once and couldn't get used to it so I switched back. The only reason why I want it now is because I'm tired of Windows XP. It's so tasteless and boring.

However, I still want to keep some of my Windows programs.

For example, I have several bots that I want to keep but I doubt that they would run on Linux. Also, I know for a fact that LogMeIn does not work on Linux and I use that A LOT. Those are really the only things I need. I can use Pidgin and Google Chrome so there's nothing else I really need.

Can anyone help me out? (Don't say dual-boot because I HIGHLY doubt my computer can handle TWO operating systems)

EDIT: I installed Ubuntu on my computer, I love it so far.

Ubuntu is kinda good. Did you even tried Fedora?
