i'd like to install linux on my old computer (486, 8mb) to play around with.
It currently has windows 95 installed on it. It's been collecting dust in my
basement. i bought sam's teach yourself linux in 24 hours which has a redhat
linux version included. I was thinking about adding some more memory but
decided i don't really want to spend much upgrading the old computer if i
could get away with it. For that reason, i would like to get rid of windows
and using linux instead. How do i get rid of the old operating system and is
it recommended that i do anything to upgrade my computer? i would appreciate
any advice on this and any tips on where i might go to learn more about
unix.?
thanx in advance, i appreciate any advice.
