Hello, is there anybody there?

I am thinking of trying Linux on my A1200HD, but I'm not sure if the spec is
up to it.

I have a 200MB hard disk, about 8MB of RAM and only a floppy drive.

Is it going to be possible and can I get a copy of Linux on floppies?

Sorry, so many questions.  I'm afraid I am a complete novice when it comes
to Linux and the Amiga.  I have tried Linux on my PC for about 2 weeks but
there's so much to learn and I need the PC for work commitments etc, so
thought the Amiga my serve as a learning tool.

Thanks,

Raven.
