Does anyone know where i can get a free cd with Linux on or a free download site with it on? I have broadband (1mb).
Linux is not an operating system by itself -- it is the name of a kernel , the part that runs programs in a computer systems ~~ It is under constant development by an organisation of volunteered programmers and is available free of charge as a source to anyone that need to dress it up for an O/S. You will find many versions of those , one that is specially advanced is RedHat 7.2 Linux :- http://www.redhat.com/ another one is Mandrake Linus 10 :- http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ another one is Turbo Linux :-http://www.turbolinux.com/ another one is Linspire Linux :- http://www.linuxuk.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=29 All those developpers have User's Group ~~ that is the first place you should go to familiarize yourself and learn what is involved in using this kernel. --- Buy a book on Linux and read my friend , it is a challenge you are undertaking ! Any of those Linux shell are over 1400MB -- that is a lot of data to download ; you can get that on Cd at Computer Stores for next to nothing on sale.
If you just want to try it, download Knoppix. It boots and runs off of cd without touching your existing system. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
Smiles ~~ I had forgotten about Knoppix Linus -- for a beginning, it would be the ideal one to try ! Good thing Xian read this thread ! Greets !
