There is a book out called "Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours" that comes
with a copy of Caldera  OpenLinux that is fairly simple to install and IDG
has a "Linux for Dummies" that includes a copy of Red Hat which is a pretty
good install too, with a little more work. I recommend both books for
reading, and for help with installation of Linux. Both RedHat and Caldera
have websites that answer a lot of good questions. It's a good idea to write
down all the info you can about your system before you start so that you can
answer the questions about the it when the Linux program asks about it. Good
luck.
