What OS do you use? At work we use Windows XP, but at home I have a mix of Windows OS including ME, XP home, and 2000. I have been tinkering with the idea of making my desktop at home have either a dual boot or total Linux machine.
I have played with various distros like Ubuntu and DSL, but never have I installed a full retail version. The ones that I like the best right now (and price is a factor)are Xandros and Suse. Does anyone have experience with thes or other retail Linux distros?

I currently run Windows 2000/XP/98 at work. I have been toying with the idea of setting up a Red Hat Linux box just to learn a little. You can download ISO (CD) images from the link below. They call their test platform "Fedora". Better have a fast Internet connection, though, as each image is ~650 MB.
I had an old version of Red Hat quite some years ago and found that it was widely supported. I'm sure there's even more info available now.
All my desktops and servers are FreeBSD. One office PC running Xp and one running Vista. No Linux anywhere in the mix! All home PC's run FreeBSD.
Have played with CentOS (and just about every other major distro) and is by far my favorite Linux distro (though I don't really like any of them). As a beginner I would check out either Suse or CentOS.
XP on most my PCs, 98 on a couple old ones and Linux in the Astrisk box and one other learning machine. Also have a dos machine setup I still use once in a while
Mostly XP, some 2K pro, 2K server ,2K advanced server machines, Centos and yes OS/2 Warp4 voicemail. Have a couple or relics that multiboot Win98, Dos or OS/2. Used to have to boot OS/2 to run Poly/Pm or RSM to access Compass CEO voicemails, but haven't needed it since Y2K.
