"Are you looking for a fast, reliable, inexpensive operating system that can serve multiple users, act as an Internet server, and support a slick graphical interface? You're looking for Linux."
"There's much to like about Linux, but getting started
with this OS can be intimidating. To begin with,
there isn't just one Linux supplier: Since Linux is
freely distributable, several different companies
market their own "distributions" of Linux. Each has
its pros and cons, and the distributions differ
mainly in the software packages that accompany the
core of the operating system, as well as in
installation procedures. Some major Linux
distributions include those offered by Red Hat
Software, Caldera, Slackware, S.U.S.E., and Debian."
"The instructions here are for
Red Hat Linux 5.2. I assume you're already running
Windows 95 or 98. I chose the Red Hat distribution
because of its relatively simple installation routine
and its ever-growing popularity in the tech industry"
