If you can't afford another copy of Windows XP, please don't resort to software
theft or illegal cracking. Search your local newspaper and especially any local
computer rags for LUG (Linux User Group) meetings. Nearby colleges may also
have meetings - try asking their computer-science department. The user group
will be quite happy to show you how to install Linux and a whole bunch of free
applications (take your pick out of over 10,000 now available!) and teach you
how to use them. It won't cost you a cent, it's legal, you'll get to meet some
really fun people, and I guarantee it'll open up an exciting new world of
computing.

If you have questions or need help finding a LUG, give alt.os.linux a visit.
