Thomas,

He was not being serious.  "LInux distros" are full operating systems, like
Windows.  There are plenty of free Linux distros (which is short for
distributions) online.  Some can be run off a CD - but most require you to
install them onto your hard drive.  You would lose all the data on your
computer.  None of your current programs would work on it - and you'd have
to learn how to use Linux to get it to work.  It is not a program that runs
on Windows - it's its own operating system.

However, if you want to completely redo your computer - most Linux distros
do come with Instant Messengers.
