LINUX QUESTIONS

[michael - (mike) brooker]

Hi,       As yet I am not a LINUX user. First I want to find out the 
best (read easiest) format to use, eg. REDHAT, X, or whatever.

So, will someone please point me in the right direction?
Where do I download the free Linux?
Is there a site with an internet download?
Or do I need to download set-up discs?
I'm running win98 on a celeron chip. I have a 40 gig HDD, and 128 RAM - 
and limited computer intelligence. Well, not too low!

Thanks for any help.
