I want to try Linux on a desk top computer. At the moment it is running Xp Home Edition. I am slightly confused as to which edition of Linux to chose and how to install it. At the moment the computer I want to put Linux on runs all my digital radio programs for amateur radio under XP. It only has a 4 gig hard drive with a 160 meg of ram and performs rather well. I would appreciate any advice from people that have already been there done that or could give me direction as to what my next move should be. I have read about putting Linux on first and then getting Windows installed to run under Linux. Thanking you Graeme
