sorry for the mess but i posted the 2nd message and had to leave for a
while..i just came and realize it didnt load up...so here is again....

continuation of the message
I've been a very desorganized and lazy laptop user and didnt renew my mcafee
antivirus nor its firewall that came installed in my laptop and now my lap is
full of shit , not to mention that i stupidly avoided downloading the SP2. So
again am gonna do the radical solution of reinstall everything from scratch
but this time am trying to follow some of the recomendations you give in this
forum (like using AVG as antivirus and probable the trend micro firewall).

Because of this start over i'd like to ask you few more questions so i can
decide better if installing both linux and windows (reducing the linux
partition) or just have XP:

2. is there a version of linux recommended for beginners like me? am not a
comp science guy but i try my best to do research (at least now that am
taking some time off from university) and learn about it.

Either Suse or Mandriva are good choices for a beginner. The latter is free
the former costs money.
