It depends on which is convenient to you. One: Download / Order / Ask this GNU/Linux User Group a GNU/Linux Distribution - a LiveCD based - to get started without installing the OS on your HDD. Once you find out that /most/ hardware is compatible with that distribution you may choose to install it. Also, you could continue to use it as a LIVE CD though there will be a performance lag. One of the most famous LIVE CD based distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux is Knoppix. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html Refer the websites mentioned in below Two: Download / Order / Ask this GNU/Linux User Group a GNU/Linux Distribution such as Ubuntu Linux or Fedora 7. Find out about your hardware and check out if most hardware is compatible. Browse the web to find out how to install it. I had written a How-TO long time back for installing RedHat Linux 9. But, this article is more generic in sense and applicable to most distributions. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/For_Windows_Users:_Installing_Redhat_Linux_Part_I Browse few websites such as http://www.linuxcommand.org http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/ (and a lots more - search using your favourite search engine) -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Why delete messages?
