Sure, Windows Vista may be the new kid on the block full of features such as the Genuine Windows (Dis)Advantage, but it is not the end all operating system. Linux has been around for a long time. It is full-featured and ready to take on the world. Linux is versatile and powerful. Below are some uses for Linux:

Skype Phone Server

Rescue CD - Forensics

Digital Video Recorder

Firewall

There are many more projects for Linux-minded tinkerers. Most of these projects can be made out of old hardware that you may already have around the house. Ask grandma if she is done with that old Compaq computer of hers and make something useful out of it. Good luck.
