Should I install Linux

[kalvindeane]

As the title says, I'd like to know if it's worth me putting linux on my friend's old desktop and my notebook. The desktop has windows 7, the notebook has xp. Both computers will be used mainly for browsing the net, and the notebook will occasionally be used for uploading/downloading hd vids. Could I expect any performance increase in them for these purposes, or is it not worth the hassle?

I did use it for ~6months before, but switched to win7 for games on my own desktop, I don't think I'll have trouble using Linux at all; but, the question is; will I see a performance increase in these areas? Bear in mind when I browse the web I run millions of tabs
