Hi,
the way you have phrased your question makes it almost completely
impossible for anyone to help you.
How many "systems" (boxes?) do you have?
What are they running now?
What do you want to use them for after you have Linux on them?
What is your level of experience with computing? with linux/unix?
Even after you answer these kinds of questions, it is unlikely anyone
can "guide you through" via email, the amount of information a typical
linux newbie needs is just too large. If you give us some idea of what
you know and what you are trying to do, perhaps someone can give you
some pointers on how to start, where to go for information, etc.
Personally, if you are really new to linux, I would suggest you get
someone to do the first install with you who already knows linux. You
might be able to get a friend to do this, or go to an installfest, or
even pay someone to do it for you.
I'd suggest you think about Mandrake or Debian as distribution choices
(Mandrake if you have a low level of computer skills/interest, Debian if
high) and if you are really keen to do it yourself, try a comprehesive
tome like Debian/Gnu Linux Unleashed, or an equivalent Red Hat book for
Mandrake.
A good source of information is irc, if you have several computers and
can keep one up and connected to the net while you install on another,
but you should use irc when you are at a harder problem and are stuck,
not just for asking general questions like the one in your mail. I'd
suggest you use this mailing list in generally the same way.
cheers,
