I'd recommend the Redhat and Mandrake distributions. They installed ok, and were very stable. At work, I recycled an old P90 by installing Linux, and installing some free web proxy software. This provides cheap, reliable access to the web for a whole bunch of PC's on our LAN. At home, I tried Mandrake. It proved reliable and quick. If you haven't played with Linux, I'd recommend it. See just how stable your PC can be with the right OS ;-) Rgds, Tom (Still annoyed that Francesca turned down that draw by rep offer in London!)
