Thanks for the words of encouragement, Web Kracked and Terrence. I
will need to fetch drivers and invest in a video card, but that's
easy enough.
I am presently running a version of XP that does not require the OS
to call home. i.e. I can avoid activation, and I truly will hate to
give that up, but XP support at the University will go away in the
next couple of years, so I'll either have to switch to some version
of Linux or go to W-7.

Although I have put Windows 7 on the laptop my wife bought me because
it couldn't be any worse than Vista, on my desk top I'm using Ubuntu
Linux. Of the two, Windows or Linux I think that you would be better
off trying Ubuntu or some other flavour of Linux that might be more
suited to your requirements when support for XP finally expires.
Heck, I'm still running desktops with windows 98 on them - if it aint
broke...
I run Ubuntu, but my wife uses tons of Win programs and I don't want to
fuss with getting them all to work under wine so I am looking at windows
for her current Vista machine. Yeah, I know. . .
