I downloaded Vector--and found out after 3 hours of download that it

Final question to all: what exactly am I getting with Linux, assuming
i can install it, that I don't already have in Windows 2000 on this
old machine? Everybody agrees the hardware will be slow. So, the
only thing I can figure is that with Linux I don't need the bloatware
antivirus program I'm using now (and one reason I want to switch from
Win2000, since this antivirus program slows down this old machine too
much).

Am I correct?

Thanks in advance.

Also as a bonus how often Linux will crash--which will be upsetting
with this noob--would be helpful.
