That is not how you do it.  All replies should be sent back onto UseNet so
that others may read and learn.

Get a spellchecker.  The word is "rules" - and DONT SHOUT!

What distribution of Linux and what have you got for a PC?
If you want to make life really easy for yourself.  Put in an additional
hard disc and Install Linux onto that.  You could also be lazy and only have
2 partitions on it - / and swap.  I expect that may not be approved of by
some people but it is not compulsory, even if good practice, to partition it
up in organised chunks.
See if you know someone who runs Linux and talk to them.  The choice of the
right distribution (Redhat, Debian, SuSE, Definite....) seems to be a matter
of taste.  Personally I buy a different dostro each time I want a change.
Every one has a different install procedure.  They all seem to be getting
easier though.
Don't take what seems like the easy route and get one that installs into
your DOS/Windows partition.  Apparently, they are dull of problems and
performance is lousy.
Be prepared to wipe and reinstall it many times before you have fot it
right.  You may do it anyway for the practice!
Read the manuals/HowTo's/bumph etc.
Have fun.
