Download and install Linux and forget that using Microsofts products on the internet is like being in the Mid Atlantic in a leaky baby bath:

http://www.mandrake.com
http://www.freebsd.org
http://www.linuxquestions.org
http://www.debian.org
http://www.gentoo.org

Anyone who buys Microsofts half baked products really should consider installing Linux unless they are reall suckers - in which case please email me a check for £120 for my suggestions here. If you pay MS that sort of money for XP you may as well constribute it to my gween gween gwass fund!

Ok Pics - for my 120 pounder ... what is next - please tell us step by step how do we / how must we get a MS Office compatable word processor / spreadsheets / e-mail client and the works ....(please) [/B]

Mnr Bok you make this easy! Anything that M$ Office can do Open Office can do!

You needa da mail client? Look no further than Evolution. A fully integrated diary/email/scheduling app.

Amd guess what? Instead of paying silly money for M$ Office you get these free, gratis and mahala with most new versions of Linux!

More Pic,

Ok thanks 4 that. Now on which one of the web sites is the "free version"

Onthou die oom is connected at very small - small speed.

So you really want to tell is EVERYTHING is free ?

What about your drivers (ie my Laptop drivers) - will they be compatable with Linux ? The ports / screen / etc ?
