I prefer CentOS. It uses less power than Ubuntu, or well, runs smoother on my computer anyways. And thus is the magic of Linux. Can do some pretty slick graphics stuff using less power than WinXP does with everything turned off.

With Linux do you have to burn it to a disk first? Also could i install it on a blank hd as well as one containing xp?

Great software at that site

To customize your theme go to download and download:
WindowsBlinds: Theme manager
BootSkin: Boot Changer
TweakXP: Tweaks your XP =P
Windows FX: Gives you cool Window effects like the Blurry effect
LogonStudio: Change your logon
ObjectBar: Gives you a dock

You can do all of these plus more on Ubuntu but for free

On windows it will take up a lot of recourses, so make sure you have a good computer

download themes from
www.wincustomize.com
