Buy a brand new version of XP (Professional, not the Home Edition) and do a clean install.I don't want to pay the bill. I have XP Pro on this machine. I like it. But I don't really need XP on the other machine. I have been toying with building a linux machine for some time.

If you have the installation disk, I would say stick with the Windows 2000 pro. There are very few things that run on XP that will not run on Windows 2000. If you are really interested in trying Linux, as well, you could set your machine up to dual-boot 2000 and Linux. Then you'd have 2000 for routine stuff and Linux for play.
