Well? Debian, please. It is a Linux, right? I want to try Linux but where can i get it.. download, CD? CD preferably because i have a slow connection. Also, where can i get some Linux documentation that suits for someone who knows almost nothing about Linux?

Yah, or www.cheapbytes.com (http://www.cheapbytes.com) - Finding a Debian iso to download is kinda hard...

For documentation, there is the free Debain book online from www.ora.com (http://www.ora.com) (O'Rieley's sp?) and www.linuxdoc.org (http://www.linuxdoc.org)

the install guide on www.debian.org (http://www.debian.org) contains links to all sorts of install methods and media... If you have a slow conection you can always download the floppies (links to the proper floppy images can be found in the above mentioned install file) and install the base system using only floppies. Then set your internet connection up and use ap-get to download only what you need... it has worked great for me.

also there is a pretty good debian install guide on www.linux.com (http://www.linux.com) - you'll have to search for it, but it is worth it.

If you manage to find a way to download it I would suggest Progeny Debian, it's much, much more user friendly when it comes to the initial install (www.progeny.com).
If you want to buy Debian on CD though, www.linuxmall.com (http://www.linuxmall.com) usually has then for about $5...
