For anyone just wanting to try Linux out for the first time, you can get a bootable CD on the cover disk of Issue 21 of PC EXTREME magazine (Current edition). It's the latest version of SuSE 9.2. Alternatively Mandrake Move is my choice, as a taste of what Linux is like, if you can get hold of it. Again it's also on a bootable CD-Rom disk. This has absolutely no effect on you computer because it is all run from the CD. Once you reboot to Window$ it's as though Linux was never there. If you have any trouble getting hold of these "Mobile" Cd-Roms I can probably burn a copy for you from one of mine. Once you have tried it you can install the latest Mandrake Linux 10, my system of choice, on to your system.
Good luck to those of you that do give it a go. You'll never have to look back again. You can still keep uncle "Bill's" Window$. On the rare occasion when you are unable to do in Linux that you need to do in Window$ you can always reboot back to the Window$$$$ system. You'll find that you probably wont need to in time. Not only that you'll save a bundle on running costs. Most of the software is Open Source which means it is FREE.
Have Fun
