Thanks Willie. Think I’ll get this and turn my boys loose on an old desktop we can’t boot anymore.

You're welcome!
There are a seemingly bewildering variety of linux distributions to choose from, but I strongly recommend "Linux Mint" as being extremely user friendly for newbies.
It just so happens that Linux Mint 9 LXDE was just released, Which features a "lighter weight" deskstop and suite of applications that are more suitable for older computers. Of course, KDE, Gnome and a few other varieties of Mint are also available if you prefer. But that's one of the advantages of a Live CD... try each of them first before you install!!!
Good luck!!
