What makes software "real"?  Whether or not it's made by a company?  And how much open source software have you actually used?

This is true, for now.

You don't have to be a nerd to effectively use Linux, either.  The latest versions of Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSe are very easy to install and use.

I am thinking of doing the exact same thing, I was just thinking how much windows ME sucks (it keeps fucking up my registry somehow) so I came here. All I want is something that is cosmetically like windows, but better. I am not very good at computers you see. Also run quite a lot of games. And my family all use windows and insist its the best so ill need to have that as well. So how would i install a 2nd OS which i can choose to use if i wish?

At the moment I only have 17GB of spare space on my computer as well. I also have no money at all. Any advice?

My recommendation:  Mandrake Linux 9.0.  You can download a copy at http://www.linuxiso.org or there are other sites you could get a copy burned to a CD-ROM.  Don't know where those sites are off-hand, though.

Using it requires no taped glasses, but using it effectively would.

My recomendation, upgrade to XP. MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHaha.
