i want to rid my computer of the scourge that is bill gates and microsoft, but im unsure of a good distro for a noob like me.

There are several good "n00b" distros: Mandrake and Xandros are good.

Going a bit out on a limb, I would also recommend Evil Entity. even though this one doesn't include a graphical installer, its text installer is quite good, and requires a minimum of intervention. It installs from a single CD that includes a nice selection of software. I tried it with some good results. I wasn't too crazy about its "goth" look, but I fixed that easily enough: Screen Shot.  :D

The only time you can mention FoxBox and not have Rupert Murdoch ream your ass before a court of appeals.  ;)

I never said I did not know how to install service pack 2 and it has been known to lock up systems while it is being installed and as for being a system builder I have been for 5 years now and what you will find more unbelievable is that I am a women so I probably know more about windows than you do If you were to follow the news you would realize that oems have to be activated over the phone now and they ask you a series of questions to ascertain whether or not you own a legal copy of the oem you are installing thus treating consumer and builder as criminal due to the coas being reused from computer to computer. By the way this message is for the cynical unbelieving experinced gentalmen who posted the right!!!!!! comment above so pardon me if I replyed to the wrong message as I am still learning the ins and outs of this web site I am new
