Default Newbie here...looking to install

Hello all...Looks like a great forum! Thanks for allowing me to join.


I am fairly new at linux and am looking for suggestions on installing linux on my pc...any help on directing me to a site that offers free fedora would be greatly appreciated. I will be working with fedora Linux in my new role at my place of employment.

Again, Great Forum and thanks for the welcome!

Default Download Fedora or Ubuntu media

Hi,

Welcome to forum!

Currently Fedora and Ubuntu Linux seems to quite hot amount the new Linux users. Have you downloaded ISO files?

Ubuntu Linux : Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu
Fedora Linux: Fedora Project

Since you are going to work with fedora, I suggest getting fedora only. For 32 bit computer select i386 media (such as P3 / Celeron) . For 64 bit computer select x86_64 media (such as AMD 64 bit, Intel Dual core, Xeon etc).

You could do your new employer a favor and get them to switch to Ubuntu.

Try ubuntu since it is linux-based operating systems. You can download it for free. If you need to know more about it you can go to their website or search at any search engine.

my 2 cents?
download a live cd distro. any livecd of desktop genre and leave others. get your feet wet. learn to navigate filesystem using command line. get used to the GUI and also popular M$ alternatives from opensource projects.
then: install
and just for sake of jobs if you want to learn linux? well, you know what your boss wants from you. so you are in a self help self learn ringtone.
