I've recently subscribed to a couple of your mailing lists to find out more about Linux. I have average to above "average" knowledge of the computer using DOS, and windows95. I'm going to be installing Linux on my hard drive using Partition Magic. I've visited several sites that offer Linux, and I must say that Debian is very impressive to me. I will probably be using Debian on my computer. You probably get this question all the time, but I know nothing about programing as of yet. I'm really trying to get started and have gone into many chat rooms to ask question about installing linux and what do I do first, and what do I do now type thing. I haven't gotten anywhere. The main reason I'm installing Linux is because I am a mudder... have been for years. I want to start my own mud, and the only way I can program source code is with Linux, or a good c++ compiler. I'm told that using Linux is the easiest way. Sorry for the much chatter here... here's my question. What advice can you give to me? I haven't done anything but download a few zipped files so far. I haven't even installed partition magic yet. I've been afraid that once I install partition magic... I won't be able to access the zip'd files that I have saved in various folders in windows. Can I do this? How do I put Linux specifically on my hard drive? I'm willing to format the whole drive if need be. Anyway, was curious if you could give me some advice.
