How do you set it all up, i believe you can put it on a cd and do it fro boot?
How is has it worked for you?
Please answer because im contenplating (POSH WORD!!!, probably spelt wrong ) getting it.

red hat is probably your best bet if you're not too sure about installing and what not, it's a cd based program so you can just load it from windows or as a different load up OS .. ( i have XP and vista and 2000 server on my load up ) but redhat is definately a good source to start with like $4 to buy me thinks online www.linux.com

Can you not download it like SuSe i think it is?

As of now, Redhat is no loger available. Its new core, calle fedeora is the new standard.

Also SUSE, and Madrake are nice. (theres MANY good distros, its a long list)

All distro's are available free of charge via download.
