thanks for the info.
i don't want to buy a distro. it's supposed to be "free" software, right?
my motives for getting into linux isn't to switch over 100%. i'll be loading it on a separate machine. i should've been clearer on that.
i wanted to set up a linux box, try to get a little experience with it. install some apps like open office (all open-source, freeware or non-commercial apps -- no warez), maybe start developing on it as i pursue my CS degree.
i'm aware of the shortage of mainstream apps for linux, compatibility issues, and stuff like that. i just want to start tinkering with it.
