If you've heard about Linux and feel like giving it a go or if you want to try Linux but you're too afraid it'll shew up your computer, this article is for you. Read it, feel free to take what you need and ignore the rest. This is not a tutorial, it's a README-FIRST-like article. It should help you to take that first dive.

This depends somewhat on the Distro and the BIOS. Some Distro's bootable install CDs need 2.88 MB BIOS emulation (like Ubuntu). If your older h/w doesn't have that you're SOL. The RHEL clones and Fedora and SUSE don't have this requirement it seems.
