If you are looking to learn more about Linux or BSD but don't want to experiment with Bill Gates's, er, I mean your Windows PC, then you should check out the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council's website:
http://www.cacrc.com They sell a lot of used PCs and other hardware (492 items as of now) via Ebay: http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?satitle=cacrc&ht=1&sosortpropert y=1&from=R10&sotextsearched=2&BasicSearch= and you can pick it up yourself and save the shipping charges. They do charge a pickup fee of $1. There's a number of PCs under $10, including laptops! Granted, the machines aren't powerful, but dang they're cheap! Here's the address and contact info: CACRC 800 St. Phillip St. Baton Rouge, LA 70802 ph: (225) 379-3577 fax: (225) 379-3496 John Hebert
