Hello,
This is the first ever post I post here and hopefully, this is the right palce to ask this.
Basically, I know nothing about Linux (cause I've always been a Windows person, what a surprise). At the moment, I am looking into installing Linux onto my own computer and am a little confused about a few things.
Frist of all, I want to keep Windows and would liek to make a partition for it. (Win98) I am just wondering how should I go about doing that and how big should the partition really be.
Also, I am on LAN and my computer is actually the server, while there is another computer connected to my computer with Windows 98 as the OS. If I add Linux, would that create any problem?
Right now, I have a CD of Mandrake, (not the most updated version). I have heard that there are free copies on the net, does anyone know where could I get them? Also, which make is the best. I heard that Redhat is pretty popular too.
Thanks in advance.
