free up about 10 gig on your Windows XP Home and install a linux of
your choice and boot either XP or linux when you feel like it.
[I] realise I could do that, but [I] want a web-based version,
accessible via a browser.

You will get better answers if you precisely define what you want this
"web-based linux access" to do. Do you want something like Webmin,
running on a remote box that you have full access to? Do you want a
remote box that you can access via an ssh client? (Keep in mind that
there are a number of Java-applet ssh clients out there, so you could
ssh from any browser with a working JRE.) What was the name of the
service you were using before?

Bit Twister's suggestion actually makes a lot of sense, because a local
install will be faster and more customizable than a remote install you
don't fully control.

that's true, sorry. i just want a 'sandpit'. to do command line stuff
with a minimal amount of user space.
