People have made mention of ubuntu in this thread. My boss tried it out and like it a lot so he created a bootable cd for me and I tried it out on a computer I built from leftover parts. I used a crappy PC chips system board with onboard video and sound and put a 3com etherlink III NIC in the only slot and added a PII 400 and 512M RAM. I booted up the CD and it set up the blank hard drive and everything else with little intervention. It picked up the video card and the NIC and connected to my broadband connection. After a few hardware problems, it's up and running with mozilla. There's a package manager which can be used to bring down all the updates for installation. I expected to have to do some user configuration but it was essentially hands off! Runs pretty good and still plenty of space left on the hard drive. The sound does not work, but I expected that since I don't know what sound chipset the system board has. anyone curious about linux should check it out. also www.ubuntuforums.org
