I want to try to install Linux for free. Really free! I keep hearing that it
is free, yet you have to purchase a $10 to $29.95 to $49.95 CD-ROM. I know
nothing of Linux. I am grudgingly running Windows98. Is there a web page for
dummies who want to take advantage of all this free "Linux" stuff on the
Internet; and install it for absolutely "free". A web page for Linux Dummies
so to speak. Or Linux, from start to finish for the unskilled and really
financially challenged. What files do I need to download? Is Linux one big
EXE that I can install from Windows Explorer? I have no idea. Currently I
have an 8 GB HD that is formatted into two FAT32 partitions. One 2 GB
Windows98 partition and the other  is a 6 GB WinData partition. I will get a
"free" hard drive from some where. What is the minimal HD size recommended
for the operating system, a cute GUI front-end, a few GUI themes, networking
dialer capabilities, email, web browsing, etc.? Do you the reader see where
this is going? I have browsed a few web pages and have basically said, huh!
I do not and will not reformat my hard drive to do this. Other hard ware
that I am using are PII 400 o/c 448, 64 MB SDRAM PC100, external SCSI Zip
100, Pioneer CD-ROM 24x, Creative Labs Riva TNT 1 and an IWill BS100
(SCSI/IDE/PCI) motherboard.

Well that ends my long winded soliloquy!

Thanks
