OK guys I have decided to try to install Linux on my PC on my D: drive, here is my specs
MAXTOR 6L040J2 [Hard drive] (40.03 GB) -- drive 0
MAXTOR 6L040J2 [Hard drive] (40.03 GB) -- drive 1
c: (on drive 0) 40.02 GB 34.21 GB free
d: (on drive 1) 40.01 GB 39.94 GB free
256 Megabytes Installed Memory
Board: Intel Corporation D850MV AAA56420-202
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Intel Corp. MV85010A.86A.0005.P02.01080113
1600 megahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Can someone tell me where I go to learn how to do this. and also I have been reading about "Compiling Kernels " and all sorts of things like this that I have never heard of before. Is this required, to know all about source codes and programming, in order to use this or get started. If so I am way over my head before I ever get started. Is there an easy way to install and get this up and running. I know absolutely nothing about Linux except what I have read on here but I want to learn just so I can migrate away from windows.
