The easist way is to buy the Linux Pocketbook from a newsagent for $15 (which
includes Redhat 5.2) and follow the instructions. For a first time
installation I would select a workstation-class installation rather than the
recommended custom installation. If you are lucky and you have supported
hardware, including the specifications, it will take you about half an hour
to get Linux up and running. It can be easier to install Redhat Linux than
Windows. Getting peripherals like scanners and zip drives working can get a
bit tricky however.
