Oh dear, you're going to think i'm incredibly stupid. I can probably get hold of a copy of Linux from somewhere but would I be able to fit it onto my 2gig HDD?

I only want it to play around with and try and get it to work and understand it.

What is the copy that I would need? I've heard a lot about Redhat and stuff, I have no idea what it all means but would like to give it a go.

And why do people favour Linux over windows. I don't want 20 replys about windows being crap (admittedly it is) but I would like some weighing up done between Linux and Windows

Thanks

Jim
