you should go out to a local comp store and buy linux. yeah, it's free but
the reason that you have to pay for it is for the tech support and printed
manuals. if you go buy it, it'll save you A LOT of headaches and time.
plus, you'll get lots of utilities, a bootable cd-rom, and less stress. i
just went to wal-mart and bought mandrake linux (published by macmillian)
for $25. or you can go out and buy linux books and most of them should come
w/ a free distribution of linux (probably red hat)...actually, you should go
to amazon.com and find books for linux and see what books ppl like then go
buy it. or thirdly, you can borrow a copy of linux from a friend. (btw,
openlinux is claim to be easier to install than red hat, mandrake claims to
be the easiest and it's based on red hat).
