I'm pretty clueless with this stuff, maybe one of you can point me in the right direction...

I have a computer sitting here with Windows 98 (yes, I know)... it is a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz with half a gigabyte of RAM. Right now, it basically doesn't work. I turn it on and it gets to the desktop screen and then just stalls. Anyway, what I really want to do with it is use it as sort of a slave machine. Have it run my music, movies, and some of my background running applications (Stats Remote, a few others.)

What is my best option for operating systems? A Windows XP license runs $200, I just find that totally ridiculous. I can buy a computer with Windows XP Professional on eBay for $200.
