If you want to have a desktop or server linux box for free, I would suggest Fedora Core (the free version of Redhat). Version 5 is the current version and is free to download. See
http://fedoraproject.org
I have had great success with Fedora being used as a server (WWW, Mail, Shared Drives for Windows boxes, network firewall).
If you just want a "quick install" linux for a "dual boot" system with occasional use, Knoppix is a good way to go. (
http://www.knoppix.net/) A great application for Knoppix is to recover files from an ailing hard drive on a Windows machine with a CD-ROM (for Knoppix) and a USB port (for a thumb-drive to copy files that need to be recovered.) Knoppix permits the Windows drive to be mounted "read only" to prevent further damage to files while reading them off the system.
