If you have an intel based PC (486 or greater), and you really want
to apply some torque to the 'net, you really need to be running linux.
Linux is a flavor of Unix designed for the Intel x86 processor. Unix,
of course, is what the entire Internet was built around. Some great things
about linux include:
1.) It's free. (and far superior to other OS's for the PC)
2.) It has built in networking - all facets of TCP/IP <-- this is
what you use on the internet, in general
3.) It is completely configurable. (You can rewrite the source, if
you wish)
4.) It is a multi-user OS.
... there are many others, but you get the picture...
Disadvantages:
1.) It's not for the faint of mind. If you fall into this category,
stick with aol and stay out of usenet. If not, spend a little time, get
familiar with unix & the internet - after all, it IS the future...
