In message <33C79FB3.58EC09BD@netspace.net.au> - Leslie Gondor :>I'm
interested putting Linux onto my PC, which is a P150, 32MB RAM, with
:>about 900MB spare HD space. 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?

Yep, the easiest way I've found is the Redhat set of CD's
Either a Red Hat distribution or the Infomagic distribution.
If your Cd is mountable under dos/win95, your away.
Defrag your hard disk, stick in the linux CD,
look for Redhat.exe or autoload and run them.

It does the rest from cutting the partitions (linux & swap),
to choosing the software to install, and installs the lilo
boot.



:>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...
