Desktop linux actually worked pretty well in 2003 for my purposes. I started on Fedora Core 1. I burned a dvd hit the magic key to select a boot target booted it up told the installer what time zone I was in and what disks it could use and such details and rebooted after a while. Wine sucked and there was less software existed but it was perfectly possible to do the normal tasks one did with a computer.

Back on my IBM 386/75MHz (yes, really), linux could only boot at 25MHz, yet its desktop environment was faster, prettier and more featureful than Windows @75MHz Edit: I guess it was a 486 in a 386 motherboard. Windows was definitely slower at 75MHz than Linux at 25MHz though: http://ps-2.kev009.com/sandy55/Interposer/386_upgrade.html#REV%20to%20486%20%20(%20for%20386%20SX http://ps-2.kev009.com/sandy55/Interposer/386_upgrade.html#R...
