I know Solaris isn't Linux ... but Sun has changed it's policy and Solaris 9 (and 8 too) for x86 is now downloadable for free (If you are a registered Sun user ... registration is free as well).

I always recommend playing with new OSes if you have a free hard drive

Here is a news article.

Here is where you can download Solaris 9 for x86.

After installing solaris 9 for x86, all I can say is thank goodness for Linux and BSD. I couldn't agree more with this review. I wouldn't use this software for anything....YUK!
