LINUX, probably the most popular freeware operating system, is also called "open source", meaning that not only can you have the operating system free, you can also have the source code so you can make changes if you like.
Many versions of LINUX installation packages are available for varying prices. You pay only for the installation media and the efforts to put it together. SUSE LINUX is provided by Novell. Red Hat LINUX is also quite popular. The two are the most common LINUX distributions available.
You can get a free copy of SUSE from the Novell web site then load it to your own CD for installation. The installation is extremely large and will require a lot of time and a high speed connection is a bonus.
