I use Ubuntu Linux because it is free... comes with great software, easy to use, and of course... they send out free discs for those of use with dial up! wooo
I also got discs of Edubuntu and Kubuntu... They are both great.
Ubuntu is easier to use than linux, kubuntu has some better apps than ubuntu... and neither of them work with my modem. So sorry, they're not my full time OS. I use xp and will be upgrading to Vista as soon as I can convince my father to fork over 400 dollars for ultimate edition
Will be fun and tough to have to put up with a new OS but it will just increase my knowledge.
