OK... I have taken the plunge and invested in a copy of XP Pro from an Ebay vendor...

Lets hope it 'does what it says on the tin'...

Thanks for your comments guys :D

it is challenging but thats part of it!

currently i have mandrake 10 and have got unreal tournament 2004 running on it quite fast!

its also handy for web design in that you can have your own web server running (before you have it live on t'internet!)

sorry for nicking the thread BRO  you wont regret going to XP but ensure you have all the windows updates etc (esp the one which "fixes" the sasser problem recently)

robbie:
Yeeh make sure you get all of the updates, there have been 3 sessions htis week. And make sure you set the PC for 'Aout Update' so you will be notified when things require updating

With regard to Linux, it is worth getting your head around. I too run my home server (see url below, Suse Linux OS) for some piccies and stuff but need to get into better webpage stuff like tables etc etc to front end it all. I will get there in the end.

One thing is, when you move one stone, there are hundreds of little pebbles underneath :D

strapping young lad:
hmm spose

but im about to deploy this little nugget for my business site

www.mamboserver.com

its bloomin peachy!

robbie:
I'll send the link to my 'advisers' :D

He will check it out and see what it gives us over the linux box. I dont want it if it dont need it :) I am having enough getting in touch with Suse, let alone another OS thingy :)

Thanks, and see you in cyber space :D
