^Downloaded from firefox's website? Then you just need to uncompress the file and run the firefox script.

Which linux should i use? Which is the best linux?

I would recommend Ubuntu 9.04

However, it would be wise to go through the list of FAQ

Use Ubuntu 9.04.

And download it in .deb format. Its easier.

t'll take time for you to get used to ubuntu but u'll like it later on. And search the web on how to install, u'll get proper steps.

ya i will download ubuntu 9.04. I've used windows for 5 yrs and very keen to learn linux now.
I don't want to install ubuntu on seperate partition, i want to install it inside windows so i'Ve to download iso file.

So you will be installing under WUBI?
I recommend you learn a bit about partitioning & install it in a seperate partition soon.
