Hey all i don't know how to operate linux but i want to load it my PC & master it.Can anybody tell me the easiest linux & procedure of installation & where can i get its related tutorials ?
Who will give me the best answer i will give him a GMAIL INVITE

Gmail invites are no longer wanted .I have 150 invites if you want !
You can search the forum in the opensource section or the tutorials section

Hey use Red Hat Linux 9. It is the best Linux to use and master. Go to the tutorials sections to know about installation. Go to the Linux site to know all other details

I would suggest use a live cd say knoppix and see the look and feal down load a mannual from the neat and reffer it as you go along this is the best way to get a hang of linux

Red Hat 9 is pretty old now. Don't install it. Go for Knoppix/Gnoppix as pradeep_chauhan suggested. See how it looks, how it works. Then install some latest distro like Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora Core, etc.

I think best Linux for you will Mandrake Linux 10.1 which is much more like Windows.
or you can use SUse
if you any problems related to linux you can mail me at digantgoyal007@yahoo.com

A word of caution from me to digant_goyal. Never post your email address in forum. You are inviting spam. If you need to give to someone, give it in a private message. I suggest, you edit your post.

the easiest Linux to install and use?
it is undoubtedly Knoppix distro.
Install and use it now.

You'll find a lot of material on the Knoppix website.
read the HowTo on installing Knoppix onto a harddrive.

Google for more info.

Try linspire just as simple as windows

check out the august 2003 issue of digit to know abt installation of linux.
It remains same for all versions of Redhat distros. if you dont have it check out the dec2003 CD which has all issues in pdf

I don't recommend Linspire. Just check out the opinions expressed at this thread.

How is Linspire?

hey i am planning to install mandrake 10.1 on my PC.
tell me how to make it dual bootable as i also have XP
C:-XP
E:-10.1

 

[tuxfan]

Delete the E partition and boot from the first Mandrake CD/DVD. Follow the on-screen instructions. If you have doubts in any step before actual installation starts, switch off the machine, note down whats on screen and come back for opinions.

 

[upendra_gp]
