Thread: Hah! Microsoft.

Never heard of Linux? Man, where have you been all this time?
Linux is an kick-arse operating system. I'm currently getting it again because I discovered the drivers I needed to get my Wireless Adapter working.

It's free, and is used by alot of people, espcially for web servers (in fact, Microsoft uses Linux for some of their servers too), and has tons of games and applications that come with it. There's also different varations, but if you're starting out I'd reccomend Mandrake Linux.
