There are lots of flavours of Linux. All free </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/question-about-operating-systems#post-97904 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:45:54 +0000 VargTheImpaler 97904@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have a Dell Latitude D600 Centrino laptop that has no desktop at all. So I can't do anything with it until I get an Operating System. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, and affordable Operating System(Anything below $30) that you don't have to download(I can't download anything without a desktop!) for a Dell laptop. Any suggestions? </p>
