http://www.distrowatch.com recomend knoppix (a version of linux that runs completly off of your cdrom (donst require hard drive only ram (recomend system of 256 megabites of ram) this way since the operating system is contained on the disk if you mess things up simply reboot and bam system is restored this will allow you to experiment and use linux without any risks simply place cd in cd tray at boot time and your set (one note your system has to be set to allow boot from cdrom) this is in your system bios settings if you are unfamiliar with get a friend or someone else to change theese settings but if you are somewhat technically proficient at boot time hit either f1 f2 or del depending on the make and model the key vaires this will bring up a men of all kinds of options like system time etc... under the boot menu simply change the order to look like this floppy (might say removable media) cdrom hard drive (any other boot device you want here) this way your system will check for a cdrom before looking on the hard drive for an operating system like windows or linux now put the cdrom in and read carefully at the prompts withing a few minutes you will be at the knoppix desktop any hard drives or cdroms will show up on the desktop automatically but by default they are read only if you need write access then simply right click the hd or cdrom and under properties unchek read only warning if the volume (hard drive partition0 is ntfs sometimes linux has problems writing to it (ive never had any problems but have heard of a few that have) if your operating system curently on the box is windows 95 -me it is a fat or fat32 file system (no worries) if your runing 2000 or xp 50 / 50 chance its fat 32 or ntfs you can save any changes etc you want to hard drive so if you need to reboot knoppix its all there knoppix is a 2gigabite install that uses on the fly compression to fit on a 700 mb cdrom if you decide to use knoppix here is a tip if you want to use it for a real dekstop make sure all settings and programs you install are on a hard drive or other writable media
