Open source is such a great thing. It's programs like Audacity that make Linux so great. I recently bought my first Linux desktop from Frye's Electronics with Linspire 5. I've tried a few distributions but I kept getting stuck with compatibility problems or trying to install software. This computer from Frye's is awesome though because it's not just a Linux distribution but an entire solution. It was easy enough to install Microsoft Windows ME on Linux with the virtual emulator program called win4lin because of CNR. For those who don't know CNR is a subscription service/program that makes installing software a one-click process on Linspire computers. They don't charge anything for open source and have a pronominal selection of commercial software. For those who have been frustrated by other Linux distributions like me I suggest you try this. I found some coupon codes for discounted Linspire 5 copies at <a href="http://tryoutlinux.com/" title="tryoutlinux.com">http://tryoutlinux.com/</a tryoutlinux.com> although I think purchasing a Linspire computer is easier if you can afford it. I haven't actually used them since my computer came with it. I've been Microsoft free for several months! wee... I'm going to go try this with Audacity now.
