Atrocities, that was one of the best tirades I've heard in a long time. *applause*.
Thankyou for making me laugh today.

Yeah, me too. I'd like to learn about Linux, and I figure the best way to do so would be to install it. I have an old win98 laptop at home currently doing nothing at all (it's a Toshiba 470 CDT, I think). I've done a little research online and have found both drivers and success stories for installing Linux on this model, so it seems like a good choice.
Trouble is, I wouldn't really know what to use a Linux box for. My computing needs are fairly basic and pretty well fulfilled by my winXP Sony Vaio, so I'm kind of uninspired when it comes to actually getting on with it. Also, I have no idea which of the baffling array of Linux distros I should go for.
Can anyone help relieve my apathy?
