*nix question(s)
after I download *nix, can I save it to a floppy or a CD and pop it in my new box I just built with no casualties to this old box? I dont think mum would settle well with the fact that her $300 XP Prof. was lost in the process.
BTW im downloading it on an old comp with XP prof, and I built a box without an OS so I'm thinking of installing *nix on it.
And, which version is the best for no0bs like me?
And, if I find I dont like *nix, can I erase it from the HDD?
And, if and when I will try to download the drivers for my hardware, will the driver disk work or should I go online?
EDIT: Reading on LinuxISO.org, I learned I can get a version that runs from the disc only (SuSE Live Evaluation I think it was called)
Since my HDD isnt formatted, can I still use it?
Sorry if these questions have been asked and answered so many times they've lost all meaning, but it's late and I dont really want to sift thru pages of posts.
Thanks in advance
