http://pclinuxos.com is Mandriva, in a LiveCDrom, that contains 2.1 Gb of 1900 programs, games, applications, suites, astronomy, chemistry, math and graph programs, complet browsers, and Office suites to read and write all Microsoft Office formats back to 1987.\n\nAfter the boot up,  the desktop displays an Install icon, and you can easily wipe your entire hard drive clean.  So, before you play near that icon, do a defrag of the drive, in your windows system, first.  If you create a partition for Linux, 6 Gb is sufficient.  If you intend to do music or movies, create CDs or DVDs, then >20 Gb would be best. \n\nI usually wipe it all out, but, I get free computers off the curb in the huge metropolis of 1.2 million homes, in Central Florida, as in respect for all those people, who kindly surrender their systems to the streets, I wipe all data off all drives.  \n\nEveryone I know, and have ever met, in the computer hobby, and in the computer business, does the same.\n\nSmallest drive I install Linux to is 4.3Gb.  Smaller than that go into my older Macs.  Great for http://ipcop.org firewall machines.

Flickr is already at least partially integrated with 360. I'd love to see them better integrated.

I'd suggest you go to Puppylinux.com they have a very small linux distro that is made to co-exist with XP. I run Puppy 2.10 myself and got ride of everything from Microsoft. Puppy comes with things that MS makes you pay extra for.

I recommend Debian Linux:\n\nhttp://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-31r1a-i386-netinst.iso\n\ndownload this ISO on a machine (that has an OS) and burn the image (make sure you don't burn the FILE, if you burn it and navigate to the CD and find a .ISO file, you did it wrong).\n\nStick this CD into your machine, and answer the questions as they come up.  \n\nLinux isn't as friendly as Windows, but it's free, and you can do some cool things with it.

Yes the gimp . It was designed for Linux but it has a windows version. It's a good start with allot of features.

There are a lot of good GNU/Linux distributions, depends what you want to do. if you want to your desktop, try Mandryba, Lycorix, Ubuntu (KUbuntu, Edubuntu), Gentoo... are the most frindly and easy to install.

Give Knoppix or DSL (Damn Small Linux) a try.  They're basically the same OS but you can put DSL on a usb drive and boot from that on most newer computers.  I've never tried the SUSE live cd but I've always liked SUSE on my laptops.

If you are knowledge in Linux, Gentoo will be good choice. Otherwise, Windows

http://pclinuxos.com has all 15 of the most popular players.\n\nBecause it is a liveCDrom, you boot from CD and it runs in RAM.\n\nPlay, examine the offerings.  And, they are available seperately.\n\nEither search in http://google.com/linux  or http://sourceforge.net \n \nafter you have played with them.  Or, run the LiveCDrom.

Well my friend if you are looking for an OS starting with 'F' and containing graphics drawing program then it is Fedora Core 1/2/3 of GNU+Linux. and Let me tell you GIMP (Graphical Image Manipulation Program) is also available for Windows (http://www.gimp.org/windows/)\n GIMP is generally available in major distibution of GNU+Linux. But if you only want it for your Existing OS then download it from www.gimp.org/downloads.

I would suggest to try out knoppix live cd and run it.\nthat would give you half idea of the drivers that are missing or how your linux would work like... when done..\n\nKnoppix would not install anything on your system, but run directly from cd...\n\nwww.knoppix.org / com\n\nsome good news...http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-826283.html

I have one here on Long Island for you. No kidding. It's Linux, but it's still OK.
