Well, after doodling a bit with Windows... for as long as I can remember, I feel I need to expand my horizons. So, I'm thinking bout giving Linux/Unix shell accounts a chance. Since I'm on a 56k WIN modem, I don't think it would be productive at all to download a commercially available distro. So, I'm looking for input as to what your favorite FREE shell accounts are. Also, please tell me what I need to look for in a shell. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Namárie,
