So try out Linux Mint, 64 Bit. It's free and you can dual boot with XP.
It's pretty similar to XP but you will find it will make all your RAM
available, your Internet will be faster and no viruses or malware. Check
it out at http://www.linuxmint.com/ If you do it, download the DVD so
that Flash, Java, codecs, fonts, etc. get installed along with the OS.
When you start the install, it will detect XP and ask you if you want to
install Linux Mint side-by-side. It's pretty simple after that.

After multiple mentions (by you?) I went to that site to check it out. And I
see that Mint is based on Ubuntu. What is the difference, then? Here
http://www.linuxmint.com/about.php
they don't say anything that is not the same as Ubuntu. What is your reason to
like it better? (I already have Ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox.)
