My son gave me a Knoppix 3.1 CD he had burned. Just out of curiousity, I fired up VirtualPC on my Macintosh Titanium G4 laptop and sure enough, if I had the Knoppix CD in the drive, when I told VirtualPC to run Windows 2000 Pro, it booted the CD instead and I had Knoppix running on my Macintosh. The only adjustment I made was to allocate some more memory for VirtualPC to run Knoppix. (I hadn't allocated much before since I needed to be able to go back and forth between Mac OS and Windows 2000 Pro.)
Now, back to learning Linux. I started to do that a few years ago, but got sidetracked when the project that my partner and I were going to do fell through. I needed the Linux machine for other things, and its hard disk got reformatted. As I have time, I hope to finally learn my way around Linux. Of course, I said that about FreeBSD which I've had running for a few months and still have not had time to really dig into.
I've also got an extra PC again and I've downloaded and burned CDs of Redhat 8, so I may set that up as well. Is there another Linux that is preferred for a newbie that is a free download?
