There are a couple of things we would need to know before you could make a decision:
How fast is its processor?
Your computer can't have 120gb of ram - its limited to 2gb by the x86 architecture. How much ram do you really have?
How big is the hard disk?
What internet connection are you on?
Does your ISP block incoming port 80? (you might need to call them to find out - this question is very important to know before you start)
How computer literate are you? Have you used linux before?

Answer some of those, and we can make a better decision for your specific situation.

Tekman,
I am sorry for the confusion, but I do not have a 120 Gig of Ram. I have a 120G hard drive. I am so sorry. Anyway, I currently am running Windows XP Home Edition on my pc. I have a T1 internet connection. I have had Windows 2000 Pro on this computer before and I do know how to use it since I have modified many things in the operating system main folder. Anyway, if you could please continue to post your thoughts, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Nick
