how can i find out if my puter supports linux????

Try and install it and see what happens.    *most* major components should work without a problem (processor/motherboard stuff). Things that may or may not work are things like winmodems and many USB type of devices (scanners/printers) could be a problem. But the easiest way to tell is to just install it. It doesn't cost you anything to try so...

Unless your Disney. They got a couple more decades to keep hold of Micky through use of money money and more money. You better start boycotting them know if you wanna keep your ideals.    

And a lil' help for yesidowindows. Your screwed with it, just like I am (though I'm sure someone said it before) But I did find a good media player in the process. Zoom Player has support for whatever ya need. DVD even. And loveld skins. (Mines a OSX imatation right now actually)

ok i am ready to get linux i need to be able to download it to my puter so i can burn it on a cd. anyone know someplace to get a download of the newest (not BETA) mandrake free? i think this is supposed to be the best one with the most extras and user interface for newbies

don't forget, you have to burn the file to the cd as a cd image; you can't just copy it over.  I remember hearing about a few people making coasters this way.

-t.

Whoah! And they expect to be able to handle Linux?   :eek:

ok so how exactly do i copy it as an image. the options on my burner say data disk. is that what i would do? also i can't seem to copy files from .edu website via ftp advice please?

[Fett101]

It helps to know what burning program you use and I could tell ya how, but You can typically choose from the menu file>burn image. Or something similar. If ya can't get the ftp to work, then try to http links.

When i burn images, i mount them first using daemon tools (program that emulates a cd/dvd drive) then just do a cd copy. I had a few problems trying to burn mandrake 8.2 in nero using burn image, so i did it this way and it worked.
