Can't afford xp, should I try linux?

I agree with elvis.  The installs of Linux out there have come a long way and are very easy to setup now.  As a plus you will never have to see another blue screen of death.  :laugh2:

The macs in my house are being used for normal stuff like writing papers and surfing the net.

The computer I built is a PC.

When I said satalight I meant .............Oh, never mind.

I dont want to get in trouble with saint again regarding looking for copys of software. But I had this nightmare that in an alterante univers my evil twin had has several friends that had PCs yet they were all dells and the reinstallation disk cant be installed on a  motherboard that doesnt have a matching code (not the product code on envalope) already installed in it. Really strange dream. Must be from watching too much Futurama before I go to bed.

I have seen several places that give $50.00 discounts for student with students IDs yet only for upgrades not OS.

ubuntu sounds good.  I wonder what emulator will work with it. My computer will never be hocked up to the internet but I could download stuff at my collage library. I suppose I should do some research.  How will microsoft compete against this stuff?

Will ubuntu install on a new hard drive like windows. I have a book on haw to install windows and I am wondering if they are kind of the same process.

He knows what you meant. It is the gross misspelling of the word "satellite" that causes him, and many others, to weep.

satalight ≠ satellite
