I want to run Linux on one of my computers, Intel P2, it has windows 2000 now and I want to learn linux so I can later put it on ym good computer. I want the best version of Linux, maybe most popular, and a site I can download it from. And maybe some links to where I can learn about Linux.
Thanks

try out different versions, find which one you like the best

Red Hat is very popular from what I've heard, but also Mandrake is good for a beginner.

Knoppix is a great learning tool for linux, it boots off a cd so no need to do a permanent install.

I personally prefer Debian and Gentoo they are intermediate to advanced though.

Fedora and mandrake are great for newbies as well.

I want Knoppix because I want something that I don't have to install, or something where I can have a duel boot, sometimes to Lunix sometimes 2 XP Pro, but when I go to install Knoppix to then put on a 700 mb CD-RW I get this site, ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/knoppix/ I don't know what to do once I get here...Please Help
Any more Sites?????????

I like debian, it depends on what you like though. You may have to try a couple flavours before you find one you like.

I use Slackware, and thats what all my friends use. I don't exactly know why they say its so great, but aparently "its the best". I'm quite new at Linux also, but once I started learning it, I picked up on it very quick.
