3 Recommendations: All 3 come from personal experience. Get and read a copy
of "Linux for Dummies", "Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours" (Both come with
CDs with full copies of Linux),  write down everything you can about your
system before you start (I/o addresses, IRQs, DMAs, and make, model and
manufacturer of all of your cards) and try to find someone that has already
installed it so you can have them help you out if you run into trouble. I
don't believe in flaming those that are willing to learn, so if you have
more questions, feel free to email me. Good luck. 'Frame
