One option, I don't know what your budget is, but Apple's Macintosh OS
X is basically a flavor of Unix (FreeBSD if I remember right) with a
nice user interface on it.
You have the ability to dive into the commandline when you need to/
want to, but have the comfortable point/click user interface when you
don't want to worry about it.
Just something else to think about... Oh... And there's no virii for
the Mac :)

Cant afford a new comp or a new OS and as for your last statement:

_almost_ no virii for the Mac :)
Cheers!
