	While I personally don't care for it, you (in a generic sense here)
should take a look at Lindows.  It's a pretty astounding desktop OS.  Yeah -
it's got issues in the eyes of the average hard core / long-time Linux user,
but as far as getting on the 'Net, burning media, playing multi-media, and
gaming I have yet to see a desktop OS that matches it.  My other Linux boxen
have required heroics to get 3D running, my OS-X box required massive
updates to fix a slew of broken crap (like system hangs from SAMBA).
Lindows just works - even my Connexant WinModem was functional immediately
upon install....
