I've looked around Linux sites a fair bit, but their is still some things which I don't understand. Firstly, do I need to partition my Hard Drive if I want to run Windows 95 as well as Linux? If yes, how do I go about doing this? Secondly, which "flavour" of Linux should I go for? I have found three different types so far, which are Red Hat, Slackware, and Debian. I have found their individual websites, but I cannot seem to see the real differences between them. Thirdly, where can I get lots of newbie information? I have checked out the main Linux site, and there is nothing really comprehensive. Thanks for any advice you may have...
