Re: The linux and Debian operating systems

[Ken Williams <ken@tecc.co.uk>]

   Hi Stuart,


  In addition to the helpful advice other people on the list 
have already given I'd also say it might be easier for you
to obtain a linuxdistro from a linux-related magazine. There's
quite a few around now in the UK, for instance,

        http://www.linuxuser.co.uk
        http://www.linuxformat.co.uk

  are both available from most newsagents, and usually come
with a CD or two on the cover that often contains a 
linuxdistro plus a load of other utilities. The magazines 
themselves also contain tutorials + more useful info to get 
you started.

   If you don't have a CD-writer and only a slow internet
connection (56k) then this might be the way to go.


   Regards

  Ken

ps: Dixons recommending Linux ? Wow, I'm impressed :-)
