    Linux OS Free
    Anyone know where I can get this OS free.

    I'm told I can use an old PC with this OS as a firewall for my xp PC network. Is this recommended if so how do I go about setting it up.

    I used to dual boot XP and Ubuntu until I sold my old PC and bought a new one. I may do the same soon with Vista and the new Ubuntu release. It was fun to learn everything, the community is very helpful to the noob.
