Unix is a proprietary Operating System, Linux was developped as an open source similar alternative to Unix and yes you can download for free. There are many flavours of Linux.

If the only OS you will ever use is a Windows NT based system, then by all means you should switch to NTFS. But if you have or plan to install Linux as a dual boot option, your NTFS partition won't be recongnised by Linux. In that case, I recommend partitionning your disc where your Windows system and all your main Windows applications are on one NTFS partition and your documents, works, art, etc, are on a separate FAT32 partition.

I totally agree.&nbsp Furthermore, from experience,&nbspI have found a weird fact that I cannot explain: the people who pay the least (or not at all) are often the most demanding ones.&nbsp I build web sites for a living.

Well, I can see the difference between a search and an email. Most people don't really care if what they search for is monitored. My point is more like: do you use spam filters? A lot of ISPs, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc, all scan keywords of your emails for spam. No difference.
