kidrock450, download Knoppix.

It's a bootable linux cd that doesn't use any hd space at all. you can just try it out.

www.knoppix.net is one site.

yeah, but it runs like $#!t off the CD drive. you'll jsut have to look around at distros... red hat might beable to do it... maybe mandrake?

kidrock450: Well, pure linux is jsut a command line.
here are some screenshots of Gentoo with a few diffrent GUIs (Graphical User Interface)

Linux is for n00bs, use unix.

Linux the kernel will of course run on that, and a custom install of most major distros should be fine on that. Just be sure that you select only what you need.

It will probably be pretty important for you to pick a light window manager. KDE and Gnome don't exactly fall under that description, but they should still work.
Blackbox: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/
The Fast Light Window Manager: http://flwm.sourceforge.net/
The Small Window Manager: http://www.small-window-manager.de/
etc. Look around.
