I have a computer that is running Windows XP. and have several years of data on it. Since I know little about the compatibility between Linux and Windows I though about buying a computer and dedicate it to Linux. I would switch the data as I become familar with Linux.
My question is what type of specs are needed for a Linux computer. How much RAM? What speed processor?Graphics card? Etc. Any do's and don'ts?
I would go with a used computer without any software.
