Linux will definitely be more stable and safe than windows xp. Frankly, I've had horrible experiences with win xp. Personally, I prefer Red Hat Linux but its really up to you. Mandrake and SuSe are not bad as well. But a note of advice. If you intend to have a dual boot system with win xp/2000 and linux, dun try to access ntfs partitions from linux as it is dangerous. As for your applications, i don't think that those work on linux unless u use wine(sort of an emulator) but im sure you can find alternatives on the net.

I ve been experiencing a helluva problems with my com and i suspect its because of my hard disk corrupted. Does anybody know how i can totally clean up my hard disk to its original state or any software that might do this?

I intend to wipeover and start again.
