Other than browsing, most of what I do on a computer is in vim and terminal based anyways. If lacking an OS ends up being *that* much of an issue, I'd go to the local salvage electronics (yay living across town from Weird Stuff and Halted!) and spend <$20 getting 128-256MB of RAM. But really, vim and a modern compiler is more important than a GUI. If it can't run <a href="http://x.org" rel="nofollow">x.org</a>, it wouldn't be able to handle any of the sites I'd visit on it anyways. Hands down the new OS.
