I have this computer that i sort of rebuilt...i mean reabuilt too. i havent' spent over $100 on it yet and now i'm trying to find an opperating system for it and i'm lookin at spending like $130 for XP. I was wondering if there was a way to burn XP to a single cd or floppy and use it to boot up my computer, as i have a blank 15 gb hard drive in it now. How or where could i go about getting a sort of "bootlegged" download copy of XP? and just so you know im' not a pirate by any means, i just don't want to give a junker car a golden steering wheel. thanks
Even if you do get a bootleg copy of XP it isnt worth using, you cant get any security updates so you are wide open to spammers/viruses. I'd recommend Ubuntu linux, easy to setup, use and its secure
Now would be a good time to learn to use linux. Fedora Core, Ubuntu for noobs, debean, slackware, mandriva, and of course red hat linux. On some of these you can just boot of the disc and not have to install it. However, be aware that linux is not as user friendly as Windows. If you manage to figure it out you will definitely learn to like it. There are ways to get a bootlegged version of xp to work, but...
