Thanks! I need a new pc, want to switch to Linux, and haven’t had time to do any research.

I have both XP and Linux Ubuntu 7.10 on a dual boot laptop. With 1.25 Gb RAM, XP actually boots faster than Ubuntu. An earlier version of Ubuntu, 7.04, was the fastest.

I use XP far more than I do Ubuntu. Ubuntu takes some getting used to if you go beyond the desktop environment. I use it when I just want to surf. For all my daily tasks, I'm happy with XP.

You can still get XP on new PC's through Dell online, and Best Buy online Best Buy For Business. That's a better choice than going Vista, fer sure.
