I have an old system, and decided to try and run linux on it just for the hell of it. My question is, what or the advantages and disadvantages of linux, and which distrobution should i use?

try knoppix distribution first. just put the CD in and turn on your computer, its really that easy.
then you can see what its like and if you want to deal with a different distribution.
