Actually, this was the original thread. Posted at 8:18 PM local time. The other - the one which you provided a link for - was the crosspost, posted two minutes later.
If you can run Vista, you are 99.9% guaranteed to be able to run just about any flavor of Linux or - better yet - Solaris. (In my experience, Solaris has been a bit more solid in terms of stability - but I haven't played with linux in about a year.)
For linux, I have tried SuSE, Ubuntu, Mandrake and Mandriva (formerly mandrake). All worked well for me.
(And I was just giving you a hard time about Windows... don't take any of that to heart. It's a lot of work to dual-boot a machine just to run java when the support is already there on the original/native o/s.)

But the other thread already had a reply. Therefore my intention was to direct everybody to it so they could continue the discussion. Not here.
