Linux is already on my system...

Okay then, build KDE 3.4 from source and watch the compiler messages scroll by.

That should keep you busy for about three days. :p

How about giving it to one of your family members so that they can use it? I can always give stuff to my friends or family. :confused:

I recall a thread titled something like if you're bored with linux try *bsd. The handbook alone will keep you busy at least for a few weeks :)

I might be ignorant ... wait, I AM igonrant, but is processor speed unrelated to internet satisfaction and connection speed the only important factor in browsing ATOT goodness?

i'm pretty sure he was joking.

I got the demo and really liked it so I bought it. Right after I registered it, it became buggy as hell and crashed all the time. It got to the point where most of the time I could start up Windows, open My Computer and Aston would crash, which is the same as Explorer crashing since it replaces Explorer. Now I'm just using Alt Desk. This makes me sad because the Aston interface is so much better than the standard Windows interface.

You can't play games? Sure you can! Just not Doom3 or HL2.

Tons of games you can play on that setup, not to mention all the online Java stuff. Chess, card games, etc.
