COOL! Free software for...um...what are they charging again?
I dual boot a WinXP machine with SuSE 9.0 (well it also has QNX and BeOS on it), and I've got all that stuff, OO, Firefox, etc. And if you have an Nvidia card, you can play at least some decent 3D games.
I also put SuSE 9.1 personal on my laptop.
I think the best browser tho for blocking pop-ups is Opera. Uses far less resoures than IE or Firefox.
