I have a windows 98, 7 GB hard drive and 63 MB RAM. I have never used linux before and want to install it on my machine. I have tried downloading different versions of linux and creating live CD’s but i cant get it to work. Is there a site that will give me instuctions on how to install linux and a download that will work for me. I would like one that has a GUI. Thankyou.

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.
So which download is the right one?

I want to try a Linux based OS on my machine as dual boot system w/ Windows Vista. Found lots of info in net, tried Ubuntu Live CD (without install), however cannot decide which OS will be the best for me. I’m not experienced w/ Linux and just want to try open source soft. I researched all of these distributions http://www.linux.com/distributions/ Is out there something else I don’t know about? Also the question is which distribution will work the best on my machine which is HP Pavillion dv9420us, see http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?storeName=computer_store&landing=computers&category=notebooks/dv9000z_series&subcat1=rts&catLevel=3&product_code=GA354UA%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs#defaultAnchor Thanks!
Can I try other OS without installing them (like Ubuntu)?

Its working as dual boot with WindowsXP: sounds works well on windows but not on linux. the audio device is:
C-Media AC97 audio devices Does redhat don’t support it?
If there is no solution ,suggest me best linux available which can be downloaded ‘for free’ and installed(not live cd) along with windows.If possible tell me how i can get the compatibility list of all available Linux.
That’s all thakyou.

Does anyone know of a console-only Linux distribution that is not a Live-CD? I want to be able to control the machine without a mouse, only a keyboard. The machine will be dedicated to folding, so I don’t need any GUI.
I don’t want to fold on a PS3, as I can’t afford one. I just want a console-only distribution to replace Damn Small Linux on my folding farm machines.
