The best one is VMware. It's free for download at this link:\nhttp://www.vmware.com/products/free_virtualization.html\nIt's very easy to use also, and it's compatible with all Linux.Unix and Sun platforms. MacOS isn't supported because it requires a different arhitecture. \nAnother one comes directly from Microsoft. It's called Virtual PC.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx\nProblem is it has some restrictions when it comes to system configurations, like no more then 16 bit color depth, problems with configuring network ports...

Depends on your how advanced you are, and how much control are you willing to take, I myself, prefer anything that's opensource so I can mess around right now I am using this one free BSD I found it's pretty fast, and reliable, it doesn't look all that great but who cares.

I'd suggest you go to Puppylinux.com they have a very small linux distro that is made to co-exist with XP. I run Puppy 2.10 myself and got ride of everything from Microsoft. Puppy comes with things that MS makes you pay extra for.

One of the easiest distributions is Ubuntu. \n\nIn the site you can get free CDs (live CD - you can use linux without installing it on your PC - and a install CD - if you enjoyed it, you can install on your computer).\n\nCheck out the links below.

Linux is far easier to use in many respects(IMO). I truly believe you will get equal responses on this subject (1&#92;2 Linuux, 1/2 BSD)

If you are knowledge in Linux, Gentoo will be good choice. Otherwise, Windows

Linspire would be the best for the Newbies to Linux.\n\nIts alot easier to install, and with the CNR Technology that Linspire has , it makes adding software a snap for the new people using linux.\n\nhttp://www.linspire.com

Windows is fine. Linux is fun. Check out www.puppylinux.com. and be prepared to be amazed by what a tiny os running from RAM can do. If that doesn't peak your curiosity just stick to windows.
