Where in Australia is best to purchase Linux?

I am considering changing over from Win95 to enable my system to perform as
it should. I am using a Gateway 2000 Pentium Pro 200 system and it bogs
right down with Win95.

How does Xwindows perform? 

Will I be able to use the Internet and Bulletin Boards without a major
drama?

What about transportability of files between Win95 and Linux, am I able to
do so?

Lots of info needed please...


thanks 

Wayne
