Never tried is but apparently it is a Debian based distro that comes
with Crossover office.

You might of course just want install Debian for free and use OpenOffice
for free.

Sure heaps. As well as netplus and MCG, PLE and Austin are usually
pretty cheap. Unfortunately no one seems to use Linux at Austin
(apparently they don't get very good refresh rates with their games)

Anyway its always good to check out their prices on their websites:

http://www.ple.com.au

http://www.austin.net.au


Also Nevada has some 2nd hand trading board on their site which is
usually alrite.
