Well, they are better men than I. I've disabled all but about 14 for a domain logging on, DHCP gettin, sound playing, file sharing type machine at work. And all but 5 for my game playing Internet attached machine at home.
If you want to get that 5 down to fewer you can write a bat/cmd file and issue the commands
net stop service
then copy the file and change the contents to net start service to turn them back on. You then have a MAGIC script file to turn your services off and on. You need to get the real name of the service out of services.msc. You can't stop and start them by description.
Hope that helps. Of course you can always use different hardware profiles to have different services enabled.
My "Web TV" machine is a 333 Gateway with Ubuntu and scrounged up 256mb, 2 3.2gb HDs and Nvidia GF 256mb card with TV out. (Yes the NV card is worth more than the computer, but it was given to me.)
I've had really good luck with PCLinuxOS www.pclinuxonline/pclos on ThinkPads. It's a good system overall and has Thinkpad utilties installed by default. I haven't tried PR9 but 8 and 81a worked well. I wouldn't try KDE of you have less than 256mb though.
YMMV I mostly use Ubuntu now and just keep PCLOS around for a rescue CD.
Don't be a dick. The only reason I started using Linux was because I found live CDs that work properly with my hardware. Ubuntu, Knoppix, and PCLinuxOS are all I use now. (Hint: all have live CDs.)
Anyone notice that his is a fake? Just wondering. For all their faults Microsoft has always seemed to be able to spell the word execution, even if the execution of proper programming skill has completely befuddled them.
Note to the artist, it would have been better to take a real BSOD screenshot, change it to indexed color and edit your palette to replace blue with red. You wouldn't have had to spell anything.:-)

- The software doesn't work in Linux.
- The wifi doesn't work without the software.
- Drum-roll please: the camera is nothing special if you use Linux.
- I don't know this for a fact, but a vast majority of Slashdot doesn't run Windows....
- Sounds like an idea for a new dept.
(from the we've just alienated half the audience dept.)Thanks for wasting 5 minutes of my life I can't get back. (Oh, wait, this is Slashdot. Nevermind.)

is as close as it gets. No explorer is a great way to Windoz.
The best way to ungui is Linux/BSD. It gets the gunk out and comes in a new citrus scent. Now for a limited time try it absolutely free.
We're trying to get it on the shelves at Wal-Mart. Baby, when we do that we're going big time.

I'll stick with BUM on Ubuntu, personally.

Seven floppies, six where meaningful. DOS came on 3. Yes, I've been at this too long.
Works fine for me in 1.0.3 on PC Linux. It looks like a Java app. Maybe reinstall your JVM. java.sun.com
Since then I'm perfectly happy with Gnome. It's my favorite WM. If I could only change my coworker's behavior that easily.

That sounds like a fine product. Plus I can buy a pallet of 486s for that money. And, before you ask, I can make THEM run Linux.
I'm a friggin' moron and I can install Linux, DRUNK! Try PC Linux OS 2k4 PR8.
You're maturing. I'm 26 and I spent a good 15 minutes making her say things like, "Love you long time, five dollar."
Lots of progress for a year.
