Linux downloads?

Matt3046 · May 16, 2007, 06:49 PM

I am tired of my windows Vista, and the guy who hooked up my broadband told me that I could download Linux for free. I can't figure it out all the sights say they have it but none will actually let me download it
I know that yall know how to do this help me, please.

Ok so I am trying anouther download. My pc has a 64 bit Turion procesor so should I take the 64 bit version? I am asking only because, the pc came with the 32 bit Vista.

Yes, use the 64 bit version. The download I used was an .iso that made an install CD AND a Live CD. The Live CD could browse your hardware and let you know of any problems with missing drivers.

I put the whole thing on one DVD. It comes up with the title screen but when I click install it starts to install but then just gets stuck.
