I have a couple of questions about Linux. I'm downloading PhatLinux at the moment, and would like your input on whether it is a good version of Linux. The reason I got it was because I don't want to re-partition my HD. The next question is if there is someplace I can go for a tutorial on the first steps with PhatLinux. Thanks.

Actually, I've never heard of PhatLinux, let me know how you like it.

I've also seen ZipSlack which is a distribution that you download as a Winzip file, and extract it to a folder. You use the dos loader "LOADLIN" to boot it, and it's only a 35 meg download.

As far as a tutorial or documentation, I would start at www.linuxdoc.org, by far the best documentation website for Linux that exists.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

In any organization there will always be one person who knows what is going on. This person must be fired.

Well, as it turns out I'm not using PhatLinux. The version I downloaded had a bug with high resolution, and they didn't have the patch on the website. I instead downloaded WinLinux2000. This seems to be better for me since it actually configures linux through Windows (by detecting everything you have before setting up linux). I really like this version, although I'm still a newbie. Thanks for your input.
