I want to load Linux onto my Laptop!

[Lilian]

Hai,

I want to load Linux onto my Laptop but am Unsure which download and were the download link is for it. I have search the Linux website but been unlucky. Would anyone be kind enough to post?

Also, am I right in thinking I download it on to my PC, copy it to disk and insert disk on Laptop start up?

Yep you are right on the disk thing

For advice on what you want then i would go ubanta it is sleek and sexy but there are many others if you dont like it the ebst man to ask about ubanta is jaffacakes as i know for a fact he is running it as his primary os on his computer

I have been reading about Ubanta and it seems the best one but I need to download link. I don't want CentOS as I am not have it as a server. Thanks for your feedback!

Definitely Ubuntu. When I get my laptop, I'm considering having dual boot with Linux, if I can get it to work!

I couldn't be bothered going through all the dual-boot process, looked to hard.

So I used Wubi.

www.centos.org :D

I need 177MB extra to get it onto a disk :( lol

For putting it onto a CD (must be done this way, won't work if you just put the .iso file on a
CD)

To order ubuntu CDs (take a long time to come)

Hope this helps. :)

Eeek that didn't work.

Ok,
download the ISO XUbuntu (the one I Use)
download a program called InfraRecorder.
Now, using infrarecorder burn the Xubuntu ISO (which should have a .rar icon onto the disc)
Now, take out the disc, put it back in and run start up.
> Note: if the Xubuntu start page does not come up and it logs back into vista you will have to
> Edit Loading up in BIOS, Change 1 to CD ROm Change 2 to Hard Disc
> Save & exit which should auto-reboot
Now follow the installation you now have XUbuntu

edit:

Be sure to copy down your network IP adresses in your network settings.
COPY everything. down. EVERYTHING. :)

I want to download it off my PC (vista) onto a CD and then load it on my Laptop which currently isn't working.

You might be better off just ordering a preburnt disc for free. Takes 3-4 weeks to come though.

[Lilian]

Were do I ordered it from?
