First off, what are some good sites for a Linux newbie? I really dont know
that much about it yet.

Now for my problem: i recently got a new pc, with windows 3.1 on it. i
re-formated the drive, and installed Linux. After installation, Linux
rebooted my system. I rebooted, and as Linux was loading, i heard an odd
beep, and get a virus alert screen. the screen says i have a boot virus

Now this is a fresh hard drive, nothing on it. The only disks i have stuck
into the computer after formating are the Linux boot disk, and
installitation CD-Rom. I find it hard to beleieve i have a virus when i have
done nothing to my system except for install Linux. Are there any gerecit
solutions to this problem or anything? Anyone have any idea what is
happening?

Thanks for your help in advance!
