I suggest Ubuntu - you can get it here - http://iso.linuxquestions.org/
The column on the left of that page tells how to burn an ISO
Good luck!

damnit
why does everyone suggest ubuntu
In my experience i find people find fedoras installer to be much more intuitive and easy for the non technical minded to use.

Great thanks.. whats the difference between an ubuntu installer an a fedora red hat? is the functionality and command lines the same?

If you have DL'ed and burned the Ubuntu ISO to a CDR then you just boot with the disk in the CD drive and follow the onscreen instructions.

Can i boot it without burning the Ubuntu iso? I have my virtual cd drives anyway.. can i install it while my windows XP is running? My harddrive is partitioned into two, i want dual OS, my windows XP is intalled in drive C, i would like to install my linux on drive D. is it possible? I dont have a cd burner so i'll try running it using my virtual drives... thanks a lot..

I finally have my linux OS, no problem encountered so far. except i have to configure my settings yet. I installed Ubuntu-8.04 without a hitch and without booting thru a live CD. thanks for the time guys.. i'll try the redhat version 9 next time..
