You can create a set of startup floppies for WinXP (I think you need 6) that loads the necessary items to get the install going from a non-bootable CD.

Hmmm.... Any way of getting that burnt onto a CD? It's just that I don't have any floppies lying around but I've got about 40 blank CDs, so it'd make more sense for me to put it on CD.

KDE is a pretty good GUI for Linux, it pretty much clones XP.
Macs aren't for art or hollywood or whatever. Any software for the Mac I can probably find an equivalent for Linux or Windows. Personally, I HATE OSX. What the heck is that edge scrolling insanity!?!?! It drove me insane with its complete and utter insane method of yanking the mouse around and no indicator of where the heck I was. Well, Im pretty sure it was the OSX gui doing that.

Re: XP - Crashed
As a network person one of the things Ive noticed is that if an office is running on Windows then you can always ask "who is your computer person" and they will all point at someone. Sometimes its some poor shmuck who had a home computer first and barely knows how to do installs, but there always is one. If its a MAC network and you ask the same question then they show you a buisness card that is sometimes a couple of hours drive away. The point is that a MAC office can run for years doing everything they want to do, documents, spread sheets, presentations, etc etc without ever worrying about it. And a Windows office cant.
Its harder to write things for the strict rules on a MAC but that has its pros and cons. The good stuff and necessary stuff gets ported, but tends to cost more. Any joe can write for Windows but that comes with compatability problems, crashes, familiarity with re-installs. Not so bad with the Last couple of Versions but still there.
Always beware of asking a guru which one you should use. Guru's are created by irritating operating systems. Dont ask the guy who can fix anything on the computer. Ask the guy who has been happily computing for years and still says he knows nothing of computers.
-- (not my sig)
unix is for people who know why it works.
linux is for people who want to know why it works.
mac is for people who don't want to know why it works.
dos is for people who want to know why it doesn't work.
windows is for people who don't want to know why it doesn't work.

Cars need regular oil changes and the like. It is the nature of machines to need maintenance from time to time. Aren't computers just a machine like any other?
|
It is like changing the oil every week...

I have had to do that....

OSX is based on UNIX.
