What OS are you running?

Too bad it's unstable on anything faster than a 500 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM.

My main computer runs Windows XP SP2. Every other computer I touch is pretty much the same. Unless you count what I usually use at college, which is some version of Sun Solaris using some version CDE.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm going to get whatever comes with a 'good buy' computer anyways, and thus a Pro edition isn't an option.

No, you WANT Pro because Home is a heaping pile of useless shit.

Unless you don't want any flexibility in configuring your computer what-so-ever.

I don't know if Media Center is based on Home or Pro, but I'm leaning towards Home.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hahahahaha, have you ever used some of the things that Windows XP Pro has that Windows Home doesn't?

And I'm not talking about domains and shit, I'm talking about the stuff they don't tell you that's not in Home that's in Pro.

Have fun trying to create users other than Administrators or Users, sharing your things over the network with any decent control, or otherwise, administrating your computer decently.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Eh, I really (personally,) wouldn't recommend Fedora. It's OK, but you can do better. Ubuntu is what I recommend, but you won't have MP3 support right off the bat.

But, hey, you'll definitely learn something out of it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, yeah, that's the easy solution.

However, it's pretty much useless if you want it the other way around.

I was speaking idiomatically.
