I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 7 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 7 (Gloria)

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 7 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation



Linux Mint 7 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive



INSTALL LINUX WITHIN WINDOWS



Linux Mint has a feature called mint4win based on the Wubi installer (Ubuntu) http://wubi-installer.org/ which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows (Windows 7 run mint4win in vista compatability mode)

You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.



mint4win like Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.



Boot in to windows insert the LiveCD you have just created and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.



Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint.

step 1 Insert a blank CD into your CD or DVD drive, then burn a disc using the file you downloaded . If you lack the capability to burn a CD or DVD, you can request a free CD or buy a copy (see "Additional Resources," below).



Step 2Backup your data. Make sure anything on your hard drive that you do not want to lose is copied safely to other media or an online backup system. This is extremely important; while not likely, loss of data during a hard-drive-intensive operation like an OS install is very possible.



Step 3Prepare your hard drive for installation of Ubuntu by making sure there is enough space on it to install the operating system. In general, you should have at least about 10GB of hard drive space for a proper install.



Step 4Insert your Ubuntu Installation Disk into the laptop's CD or DVD drive. Follow the simple onscreen prompts to install Ubuntu. The exact steps may vary depending upon your version, but you should be asked first to select your preferred language, after which Ubuntu should automatically detect your Ethernet connection.



Step 5You will be asked to select an area of your hard drive on which to install Ubuntu. Some basic knowledge of hard drive partitions is helpful for this step. If you will be using Linux alongside Windows or Mac OS X, or if you have a data partition on your drive, be very careful not to install Ubuntu over those.



Step 6Ubuntu will be installed on your system, along with a boot loader that will allow you to choose between operating systems, if you are installing alongside another OS. The installer will apprise you of the installation progress. When complete, Ubuntu will load and you can begin using your new Linux operating system.

As the open source revolution grows around the world, more and more people are starting to switch over to the Linux Operating System and pre-eminent of all the Linux OS is the Red Hat Linux, owned and distributed by the Red Hat Inc.

Answer 4

First off ignore any idiot who discourages you against it. The Linux Kernel is amazing and open source software beats proprietary any day. There are literally thousands of Linux Distros (Operating systems using the GNU/Linux kernel) I chose Ubuntu download the .iso from this link http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Once downloaded burn it to a cd/dvd. When your finished with that stick it in your dvd tray reboot the computer. Prepare a one time boot menu. To do this hit f12 on your keyboard as soon as your computer turns on. Then select boot from cd/dvd tray. Just follow the wizard from here. And here is the huge plus you can still keep your windows partition just select in the partion menu use the largest continuous partition. Now you can boot from both!



Good Luck. If you need any help send me an email.

Answer 5

Read the instructions on the website of the version of linux that you want to install. If it does not have any instructions available choose another version.

Good luck

Answer 6

There's loads of linux distributions that have complete user guides on how to install Linux.



What distribution did you download?



If you have downloaded Ubuntu, go to google.com and type in:



'Ubuntu Installation guide'



and you'll get a wealth of information.



But you would have know that if you had put in some kind of effort.



Always remember:



Google is your best friend! :-P
