I have a ten eyar old desktop running XP, would I have to do much to start using Linux? Would I have to get rid of XP? Does it support older versions of WordPerfect?

Thanks.

Try running puppy linux on a thumb drive on it. You will be surprised at how easy it is and how well it works.

I recently loaded Ubuntu on an old XP machine using a flash drive.
It runs great.
