Ive not had any experience of any other OS apart from Microshaft products so wouldn't know where to start.

But since I don't give Mr G any of my hard earned anyway, am not too bothered (I get all my MS products free on MSDN Subscription paid for by Dell anyway)

Wouldn't mind trying it out though on a system... is it easy to install etc?

installation is a breeze - no harder than anything microshit.

If its your first try at anything linux, it's perhaps best installed on a 2nd computer - if you have something older around, that you thought was now too slow to be used for anything, that's the perfect bit of hardware to use. You'll discover it wasn't so slow after all.

Got an older one up the stairs that I might use for it

Yes it's my 1st attempt, is the software available to install from the net, or do you need to purchase it?

free, from http://www.fedoraproject.org

Download to DVD, write to DVD (you need a writing tool that writes ISOs, which is a bootable disc format), and away you go.

For ISO writing, I used http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

Cool cheers will give that a go at the weekend, got my new laptop to play with tonight
