Fully Sorted Linux?

I have recently been checking ot Ubuntu, which I have read some good things about. I partitioned my hard drive a couple of years ago, with the express purpose of setting up a triple-boot 98SE/2000orXP/Linux. But I haven't had the money to buy XP, and I haven't been really happy with the Linux versions I have seen (and many, such a Red Hat, aren't truely free).

But Ubantu seems to be a fully worked-out, well integrated, user friendly desktop enviroment.  ¶ 2:29 PM
