Just remember, you are getting 10x the operating system!

I'd never waist 600 megs on Windows

Harddrives are cheap. I have a FULL install of Gentoo, that has several gui's (KDE, Gnome, XFCE4, and a few smaller ones), full e-mail server, file server, web server, and it only takes 2 gig. And the last time I rebooted that machine was 11 months ago...

I'm not anti Windows, I just think there is much better out there for free!

I run XP because I am just a user not a computer geek. I am, however, getting tired of paying uncle Bill more than $100.00 every time I upgrade machines. My question is this; Is there something out there I could look at that is not as costly, and would work well with my Duron one gig machine

Preferably with a good gui. Also something I don't have to pay a fortune to keep viruses out

BTW I only use less than half of my 20 gig hard drive.
