Looking for a new Operating System?
I have no idea why it took me so long to make this post, but I have a list of OSs that are mostly free. I am going to give links to as many as I can right now, so if you're looking for an OS, read this thread! If anyone else wishes to reply with more links to OSs, then by all means go ahead.
Some of these are based on Linux, some are not, but check out the links and see if you like anything. I know I am supposed to be the OS tester of AO, but I am currently out of boxes. All of mine are now in use, and so I can't test all of these like I would like to do, but if anyone does use them, please reply with a run down of how it looks, how good it is, what you liked, what you did not like much, stuff like that.

Want to use Linux at work? No problem:
---------------------------------------
http://www.workspot.com/
This enables you to access Linux without having to install or run Linux yourself. How does it work? Linux runs remotely on the servers of 'WorkSpot', while you access the Linux desktop (full graphical windowed user-interface) through your Web browser on your local computer (or anywhere in the world).
This means that you do not have to install, configure and run Linux yourself.Send and receive email through Workspot, your email address is [email]yourname@workspot.com
