    just edit "C:\boot.ini" maybe just increacing the timeout from 0 (zero) to 10 (seconds) or you may need to edit the OS selection

    well for starters linux (Mandriva) is free, check this out for the popular flavours of linux
    linux beats XP to death with a big stick, because not only is it a :swear: load more stable and XP has more security holes than a packet of polo's
    but most / all versions of linux do not need antivirus, antispyware and software firewall (hardware firewall built into my broadband router)

    i would consider a broadband connection / router as being almost essential

    but its far from easy to learn linux, if anyone wanted to try linux, i would say try a mainstream version for about 6 months or a year, then choose a distribution of linux that best suits you (thats what i'm doing)

    as for games, WINE is a very good emulator and will probably work on linux with about 85% of all windows software

    linux not only runs XP over like a big truck, but then uses reverse to make sure XP can't get up also linux includes a lot or free software
