The latest stable version of Linux is 2.6.16.1, released on March 28, 2006. You can get Linux 2.6.17rc1 (Apr 4) at kernel.org.\n\n"Linux", of course, refers to the Linux kernel because any other "Linux version" would be meaningless. You can find the latest kernel releases at http://www.kernel.org/

Do yourself a favor by considering upgrading to one of the many Linux operating systems out there. They are now easily available and quite user-friendly. Linux is not proprietary but open source and costs next to nothing. Many British computer Linux magazines usually come with a CD loaded with software and a Linux OS.  The software is usually accompanied by a write up. Check it out. Support is always quickly available at the on-line Linux message boards.\nAlternatively, one can do a Linux search on-line and find the information and downloads  required.\nIf Linux is new to you, learn as much as you can about it and the different kernels that it operates under. You can then decide which one suits you best. Ubuntu Linux is becoming quite popular.\nIn spite of all that, give it a try by downloading Knoppix Linux from one of the many mirrored sites and go to town. It comes complete with an office suite, web browser etc. and is all loaded onto one CD. It runs off the CD so doesn't affect your existing OS. The good thing about it is that it's solid, stable and secure (the 3-S anchor) and, viruses and malware aren't a problem. Incidentally, their word processor should be compatible with MS Word. It's also Firefox compatible.\nGood idea to start learning this is by going to http://www.Linux.com and branching from there.\nIf you're serious about considering the Linux option, I recommend that you purchase the trade paperback 'Moving to Linux' by Marcel Gagne (2006 Pearson Education). It comes with a customized Knoppix CD.\nGood luck.

Go to work&#92;friends's house&#92;the library & download the latest version there. Copy it to a disk and then take it home & install it. \n\nOtherwise - you're probably out of luck\n\nhope that helps!

The easiest and friendliest complete install of Linux is Ubuntu, available free at http://www.ubuntu.com .

It is most absolutely worth the price - what other operating system supports as much hardware and software as Windows? It's a bargain.  As for piracy, it has been reduced significantly in the latest versions; people can't download updates now unless the Genuine Advantage tool verifies the OS is legitimate.  As for Linux, it works ok for certain applications, but it isn't as flexible and easy to use for a mass audience as Windows is.  Also, try getting support for Linux - I have used it for a long time for a couple of specific server applications and if I have ever had an issue with it, the Linux community has been very hostile about providing support; many of them have an elitist attitude.  And people think Windows is buggy?  Linux has tons of security holes, driver issues, software that won't run without days of tweaking.  I speak from experience.

You should increase your RAM, regardless of which distro you get.\n\nThat said, Redhat is the best supported distro out there, so if you are new to Linux, I would highly recommend it.\n\nTo make a Web server, any old Linux distro will do, but I use Mandrake for my *nix box and couldn't be happier with it.

Why don't you try the live on cd versions of most of these distributions, before you decide on the version you install? Advantages are, you'll be able to select the one whose look and feel suit you best, and you will also know your hardware compatibility with each distribution before you actually install it. \nI've been meddling around with the live on cd versions of Mandriva, Linspire and PCLinuxOS. You might even think about ease of installation, in which case you could visit www.slynux.org, or try PCLinuxOS. \nI personally am planning on installing Mandriva or Ubuntu. Will be giving it a bit more thought, though!\nA list of distributions is available at :\nhttp://www.linux.org

You should be able to check by doing the following:\n\nGo to the help menu. There should be a choice called something like "Check for Updates." Select it and it should tell you if there is a newer version and how to get it if there is one.
