There's no need to be sarky - I seriously want to know more about the
alternatives to Windows. If having a reasonably specced PC somehow disbars
me from the linux/opensource/whatever you call it community, that is a bit
sad...

It hardly requires psychic powers to deduce that the members of a web dev
forum are not starting from scratch. We're all obviously using our OS and
mail client of choice to be discussing this in the first place.
There have been some useful posts on alternate OS/apps/drivers, but your
getting bitchy doesn't help anyone to learn more, or further your
anti-windows argument.
