[Tutor] linux

[Gouveia, John M W44]

Jeff,
If you're just starting with Linux, I'd recommend Mandrake-Linux.com.  =
You
can download it for free or and burn the iso's to cd or drop the $40 or =
so
at a retailer(even WalMart).  It has a nice GUI install and will =
probably
detect most if not all of your hardware.  A dedicated machine would be =
ideal
but you can check out the how-to's on linuxdoc.org for dual booting =
with the
version of Windows you already have.  Have Fun.
