A: The two most prevalent desktop environments for Linux are GNU Object Model Environment (GNOME), at www.gnome.org, and K Desktop Environment (KDE), at www.kde.org. Of the two, GNOME is truly open-source, whereas KDE is only partially open-source though still free. KDE is a good option for those who want a desktop with a similar look and feel to Windows.
As for connectivity, Linux has the latest and greatest that is UNIX--and UNIX built the Internet. For an emulator, you can pick from several open-source ones plus a number of commercial emulator products. I'm currently using an open-source version that I found by searching the Linux open-source product search site, www.freshmeat.net.
