ive got an old computer.....it stopped working ages ago.........then i thought it might be the Windows 98 on it that was kaput? (i dont have the disc anymore)

anyway, i downloaded on my laptop Linux (free), and although it seemed okay...it wouldnt let me install anything new.....ie firewall etc.....and now its not working at all (again)! It deleted the existing windows.

so can anyone recommend/suggest another 'operating system' please?

Thankyou!
