Hi Sahap: You and I are in the same boat. I recently became interested in linux and am now trying to install Debian GNU/Linux from the CD that came with the book, Learning Debian GNU/Linux by Bill McCarty. Unfortunately, the installation program on this CD doesn't seem to work with my computer. I believe the most popular linux distribution is Red Hat Linux; just look at redhat.com. Red Hat is more automated than Debian, so the initial set up would be easier with Red Hat. However, Debian gives you more control and the chance to understand what's going on in more detail.
Anyway, I just thought you deserved a decent response with some specifics, rather than the lame-ass type of response you got from Mr. Peak. I mean, seriously, Mr. Peak's response gives absolutely no useful information. "I'd recommend getting a good Linux book to help you get started?" Well - NO DUH!!! The question is which book! I recently posted a question to this group about the problem I'm having with the Debian installation program and got a similarly useless response.
