500 megs is very little space.. so u'll miss a lot of fun neways cause u'll have to install a totally small n stripped install of iny distro... so if u really want a good taste of linux.. my suggestion is to first arrange for more space... this seems like ur first try with linux.. so its better u try stuff on a seperate hdd so therez less chances of messing up with ur windows C:
