Yeah, I've heard of Linux, but does it come in a box, just install, and use?
Ken there are heaps of linux flavours out in the form of a "live cd", which allows you to load and try it running from the cd drive before committing to installing to your hard drive.

I have ubuntu linux as well as winXP on my home pc. The ubuntu cd comes with the OS, web browser, open office (MS Office clone), heaps of applications already there and ready to use.

Which linux distro is suitable for me?
