in answer to Wojciech's ... there is already windows!, i don't think
there is anything 'wrong' with that os. in fact, i rather liked win95
and win98. on old machines back then win95 was a really easy install and
required only 50M - you had to work much harder to put on linux (especially X).
. . . but you'd still get a cooler desktop by going with something
else, like MacOS X, Ubuntu, or PC-BSD (in increasing order of coolness
in the glitzy, unnecessary dancing rodents sense) without having to
actually express any personal preferences during setup.

It depends how much of a hacker you are. If you want out-of-the-box and you
don't mind kde then choose between pcbsd or desktopbsd. If you want
out-of-the-box and gnome I think you are out of luck. If you don't mind diy
FreeBSD is your toolbox.
