I don't want to ramble on.... lets just say that Ubuntu is the coolest thing since sliced cheese.\n\nI run a design/computer firm so I am sorta stuck with windows until Codeweavers gets Crossover Office running photoshop cs2 on linux.(You will learn about running windows applications on linux shortly)\n\nHowever, NO MORE SUCKING ON THE TEET THAT IS MICROSOFT for us. I use ubuntu for everything else. \n\nIt took me approximately 10 hours to sort out what I was doing to port my entire office over(except for color management and printing stuff).  Two Ubuntu builds later, I am making insane money porting peoples offices from windows to linux.\n\nYou will have absolutely no problems intalling ubuntu or using it and you will never turn back...\n\nNo more hard locks, no more blue screens, no more poop...\n\nEdit: As a matter of fact we will provide instruction if you get stuck and will help you for free!\n\n\nhope that helps, freedom is just around the corner!

It depends on YOU. you should choose what you like among all distros you can visit some websites such as http://distrowatch.org and http://tuxmachines.org to compare between theme. Finally there is a site that asks you some quistions then recommends the suitable ditribution for you it is http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php

Which distro?\n\nIf you've got the time, you can download ISOs from most distro 's Web sites (even RedHat).\n\nI get my distros via bittorrent, personally.

Mambo is outdated - the release of Joomla took it's place.  I don't have experience using DotNetNuke or Post-Nuke, but I use Joomla on a couple of sites and I'm very happy with it.  There are a lot of add on modules and components, it's very easy to use, their support forums are active, and I've never had much trouble just doing a web search for specific things I'm looking for and coming up with the answers for them.  I also like that it was included with my hosting package, so installation was a breeze.  I'd definitely recommend it.

Try creating a boot floppy, get that here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm\n\nThat should get you started. You may also want to try Ubuntu, it is easy to get started with and seems to be soring in popularity.

You don't ask for much do you? LOL.. \n\nThat depends a great deal on what you want to do. I strongly recomend moving up to a more modern distro. You are welcome to YM me and I can walk you through the configurations. Trying to do a tutorial on this would take forever, however the Linux Howto page has a tutorial on all of these topics and most Linux howto's are very good.

I know a few people with non genuine versions and they have been online for years. You aren't a fool. No one expects a computer to contain a os that isn't authentic. Do you know much about changing the os? Try Linux. Look on Ebay for a version with temporary support, it will cost a little but not anywhere near what it costs for Windows. SUSE(a type of Linux) comes with 30 days support when bought in box form. That is the only real drawback with Linux is the lack of official support but there are forums you can pose questions for great answers and most everything is being written for the Linux system also these days. Give it a go if you can't get the Windows to work properly, the great thing about Linux is that once you bought the system, you can put it on whatever computers you want, unlike Microsofts os. Linux want to be spread around the world. They work towards the free and equitable access to the internet and computers for all.

People have mentioned to install Linux.\n\nBut the thing is that when you install programs it might not be so FisherPrice if you know what I mean.\n\nIt is quite hard, and Linux isn't just Linux.\nThere are soo many different types,\nFedora Core, Ubunta, Debian, Mandrake, SUSE,Red Hat(which is gone[and No USB support]), and Knoppix and the list goes on.\n\nIt depends really on what you want to do with your computer, is which Linux distribution you would want to install is Debian because it known for it's ease in installing other 3rd party programs to do your odds and ends i.e. converting mp3s blah blah blah. \n\nIf you want to still use your windows products there is a program for linux called Wine which means Windows Emulator, emulates alot of programs nicely. \n\nBest of all Linux's are free, except for Enterprise editions which you have to pay monthly.

Get to know sourceforge.net. It has everything free. \n\nOpen office costs 0$ and it's just as good as microsoft office\n\nGimp costs 0$ and it's just as good as $800 adbobe photoshop\n\nthere's just a myriad of benefits. Linux isn't just plug and play and aggressively install everything automatically. Linux systems are built to be configured by the users so they setup their own light weight systems.\n\n\n\nIf you want something more aggressive in installers and has like 5 dvds worth of software\ntry mandriva\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+mandriva\n\nalso a simple one with easy installers is knoppix\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+knoppix\n\n\nYou can do everything you do on windows.

If your system can connect to the Internet, I would suggest you try installing from the net. Almost all Linux distros nowadays are too big for floppies.

It depends on your choice and why you want it if you want every day norma; or personal use I recommend you Arabian a lightweight distribution that you can  run  it from the cd without installing (Live cd) and then you can install it if you want. If you want it as a workstation or server you can try Fedora or SuSE.

Ubuntu is a great way to go, it will partition the free space on your drive.  It is free, and they will even send you free CD's if you can't download it for some reason (if you are asking a question here, I assume you are already online). For me, the best part of Ubuntu is the community. There is a great community of people from around the world, that are very polite and always happy to help answer any questions that you may have: http://www.ubuntuforums.org\n\nEven though Ubuntu is currently on version 5.1 (Breezy Badger), http://ubuntuguide.org which was written for version 5.04 (Warty Warthog), is still a great guide that is very helpful as well.\n\nThe Synaptic Package Manager makes it VERY easy to install additional programs, and most of them are free.\n\nThere is a live CD (which runs from the CD, but is slower), if you would like to try it without having to install it to your hard drive first:\nhttp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/5.10/\n\nGive it a try, I am sure that you will like it. I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot about 5 months ago, and I finally removed Windows about two months ago. I am here to stay.
