Hi :)
Ubuntu and i think Fedora keep their iso small enough to fit on Cd to the point of obsseive insanity (in many people's opinion apparently). Cds have a much lower failure rate, especially the cheapest Cds for some weird reason. Dvds use a higher burn speed. I'm not sure why expensive Cds are worse. Perhaps expensive are somehow optimised for storage rather than for booting but that sounds mad and unlikely.
It's good to hear that there is a Windows version! I think someone else had mentioned that but your post gave a bit more detail.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Aleks,
Yes, there is a version for Windows, but looks to be only 32bit. Maybe someone else can correct me if I am wrong.
With regard to learning Linux, not really the right forum, but will try to help. It really depends on what you are thinking of learning. You could get a dvd of Ubuntu or Fedora and play around. That will give you an idea of what the GUI looks like. If you want to play on the command line, then there are plenty of online ebooks/tutorials on various commands that you can use. But to some degree it is distro specific. I would suggest making a choice on distro and then learning/asking questions from there.
Hope that helps.

I have Win 7 x64. At least three times a year I want to learn Linux, but have not been successful. Is there a book that I can use to learn Linux.
Have a good weekend,
Thanks, Aleks
