Installing Trisquel is fairly easy, actually it is very really
straightforward, but I am aware that "easy" is a relative concept and that we
all have talent for something and anti-talent for many other things, so..
let's say "fairly easy".
If you have a PC with more than 2 gb of RAM download the 64 bit full ISO and
burn a DVD with it.
If you have 2 gb of RAM burn a DVD with the 32 bit ISO.
If you have 1 gb of RAM burn a DVD with the Trisquel Mini 32 bit ISO.
Then, restart your computer with the Trisquel DVD and if it does not show you
the Trisquel menu restart it again and on the very first seconds of the
booting process press repeatedly "del", "canc" or one of the F* keys -"F2"
usually AFAIK- in order to enter BIOS and set there in the boot order to boot
first from CD.
When you finally eventually enter the menu select "Install Trisquel" and
follow instructions. As long as your English is decent and you understand the
language and know how to point and click you shall have no issue at all.
As far as security, any decent GNU/linux distro is I would say still 10 times
more secure than any Windows installation (with or without EMET, antivirus,
antispyware, antirootkit, anti*place here whatever*) so you just install
Trisquel and just make sure to never install any proprietary malware
(basically and potentially, any piece of proprietary software) and you are
golden.
