forced to alternative OS

What alternatives would you suggest for my old PC (below), if I don't want to buy new hardware? And, these Windows XP groups will disappear too I suppose? Interestingly, when I had a Win98 machine still up and running, with support "supposedly" long gone, I would get the occasional security update. I have no idea why, but gut feeling is something similar will happen with XP. That would be great... My personal justification for this feeling is the number of XP users, both corporate and personal, will still be numerous enough that MS may not want to pi$$ them off. Regarding Linux, I was going to suggest you look into that as an alternative, but I see someone else has also suggested that. What you could do, Linux-wise, is to download and burn the Live CD's from various distros, and run it from the DVD and RAM. That way you have time to check things out before being forced into doing something quickly. Exactly, that's the way to go. -- thanks, |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os |
