I would go to www.ubuntu.com download the newest version for your computer, burn the image and install it. it comes with firefox, pidgin which is an instant messenger program that can use yahoo. aim, icq msn.. accounts. you can watch youtube videos and make powerpoints and word compatible word process or doents in openoffice which comes with ubuntut it, wall papers all still work and there are thousands of other free programs you can download if you need them.. see www.linuxchurch.com.. its a site i'm building that talks abotu the basics of linux.. what is linux, which version to use and so forth.. its not fully built yet but it will answer some of your questions.. I have been using linux for 3 years, and I will never go back to windows.. welcome to the club
