Make sure to give Linux (which is a FREE SysV (posix actually) unix) a
try. It run's X, All GNU stuff, TeX/LaTeX, you name it. 

Till now, it doesn't have DOS emulation but people are working on it. 

While it supports many hardware items there are some which are not
supported (SVGA cards under X in particular) so make sure to check
your shoping list. 

check comp.os.linux for more info. The latest FAQ list is avilable from	
tsx-11.mit.edu (18.172.1.2) in pub/linux.
