    I got Debian with X and Fluxbox running on 512MB no problems. Same thing FreeBSD with X and KDE.

    Vista is heavy, bloated trash. Technically, I *could* run Vista on my box (forced to suffer a dual-boot because of gaming, remember?), but why in my right mind would I want to?

    And an interesting tidbit of news I read on linux.org earlier today:

    Chev, you will have the option of buying a M$-free box. While I don't like Red Hat, I envy you in the way you CAN break free of M$ when buying a box.

    Aren't there small businesses that offer to assemble PCs for you? Most computers I see sold here are not sold by the big players, and usually you can choose what OS you want. Pirated MS Windows - and/or Office - is sometimes an option, and not an altogether unpopular one.
