Linux Services:
Have an old computer laying around? Mail it in to me and I'll see if it can run your favorite Linux Distro. Maybe you're just tired of Microsoft Windows and I can relate to that. Stop paying for your operating system; Linux is a free OS. I use it at home and love it! Linux is virtually impossible to get infected with spyware and viruses. It will run on older hardware unlike Vista. At this point I don't recommend it for wireless connections. If all you need is internet, office applications, and email then it is an excellent alternative.
