Ok, i have a spare box lying around and i was wondering some things about Linux because it seems a good way to open my OS's rather than Windows all the time.
System spec;
Amd 700mh athlon
128mb generic ram
16gig hard drive
32x cd rom drive
16meg video card(voddo 3dfx)
floppy drive.
Would this be a good box to run linux i.e fast enough?
also a few more questions...
1) What is the best free Linux version to use, Where can i get it from? How to i actually install it on the machine?
2) is it easy to get started with? or will i have to learn new commands with?
3) security, What free anti virus programs/firewalls are out there? what are the best or ca i simply fire in my norton 200 cd and use it?
any feed back tips or general knowledge would be greatly appreciated, thanks
