most linux versions can be downloaded for free on the official website.
not sure about itunes or AOL but I don't think that they will work

I would give ubuntu a crack it is very simple to learn and the suppport forum is great. Its also only 1 cd for the desktop version.

amarok is meant to have decent ipod support and you can also run itunes in wine. aol should work as well if you have a look around the forum there are various ways of getting it up and running.

ok,
ive downloaded ubuntu and installed it,
and i have this source code from www.linspire.com/dialersource
and i have no idea what to do with it.
also,
i downloaded wine for ubuntu on windows xp and put it on a zip disk,
but when i try to install it it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libartssc0"

I don't use ubuntu so I can't be 100% sure, but in terminal type sudo apt-get wine, enter the password and that should install it for you.
As for the itunes, for linux you can use Songbird.

Fedora Core 6 is out on Thursday, you might wanna check that Distro out :)

Mandriva,Suse,Fedora Core are good distros for a newbie. Just google it. You will need a cd or dvd burner to burn the downloads. For software imgburn is freeware, you can obtain to burn the isos.
