Hi,
I got FREE ADSL service by some lucky chance. Now - what do I do with
it? What's the best thing to do with 30kbps+?

30kbps? I'd say the first thing to do is buy a modem. :)
Oh, you meant 30kBps...
In that case, browse the IRTC archives like you always wished you
could. That's what I did when I first got my (95kBps+) ADSL.

ADSL is prohibitively expensive here in the UK...£40 per month, nit
including additional line rental....

Go see a movie.
Seriously, the most useful thing I've found for high-speed access is
downloading movie trailers a few minutes before leaving for the theater
:*)
http://www.apple.com/trailers/ always has lots of them. I recommend the
maximum size "Lord of the Rings" and Monsters.inc.

Well you could start by d/ling all the different distros of linux, put
each onto a CD, and mess around with your machine untill you find the
right distro for you.

Once you have found the linux distro that you like use all of that
extra speed searching the net in vain for software that will run
under linux and is worth owning.

box, that is?

Pirated software can't be counted.
I would say that most free software for Linux/Unix is far better than
most free software for Windows.

And far better than most commercial software for Windows... think about M$'s

The majority of the stuff you'll need comes with the distro, the only
thing thet I'm missing is an Mpeg player, but others have managed to
sort it out and I just havn't got round to it yet.
Anyway this has gone over to off-topic so I'll leave it at that.
