Greetings,
I am interested in learning something about Linux and to that extent I
have a couple of Live CD's sent to me by a friend in the States, one
being Ubuntu 5.10 and the other has Knoppix 3.8, I also have coming
Kubuntu, Simple Mepis, Melenix and a bit later Fedora Core.
Now being a real dummy at this time these names do not mean much to me,
but I am looking forward to playing with them.
My computer is an AMD Sempron 1.6Ghz 480Mb Ram and 80 Gb HDD of which I
have currently about 60Gb free, and using Windows XP Home.
I believe that for some programs that when doing a full installation, it
will partition the HDD before it installs (it is currently not
partitioned), correct????
Are there places in Chch that you can get disks from for installing??
I believe you can download from the internet some different programs but
think that most will be a bit too large for a 56k dial up which I use.
I am assuming that these above mentioined programs are all different
versions of Linux, is that right???
I would appreciate any suggestions or info that anyone might like to
offer..... just dont make it too technical at this stage please.
Thanks
Alan Hughes
