But the advantage is that you can also download any linux distribution legally 
for free. Personally, I've been using Suse for quite some time now and I'm 
really happy with it. Other people may prefer other distributions. 

Since you are going to build a computer specifically for FlightGear, I would 
definitely explore the linux option.
