PC's with 2-3 terabyte hard drives and 8+ GB of RAM are not that expensive, and download speeds are fast with broadband, which allows "excess" resources to be used to obtain and install a Linux iso within Windows using VirtualBox. So it's become a lot easier to experiment with Linux. I like Linux Mint.
