    Linux Ubuntu

    I'd have to disagree. I've been playing around with various "Live CD's" and they are a breath of fresh air. Ubuntu is one of them. I prefer Knopix for it's lightness at the moment. As with all of them, the way you can just switch desktops at the drop of a hat is nice. OS, browser...
