Question Linux Download
Can you download Linux and install it on a machine using Windows 95?
I'd like to learn it with my old laptop.

Any ideas?

Yes you can, theres the Wubi installer which will install Ubuntu without touching your partition of the HD.
Else it's possible to download a Live CD to try it out.

If you find that Ubuntu isn't for you, you can head over at Distrowatch and browse the different releases preferably searching for live-distros in order to try befor installing.

Happy hunting Smilie

Also, try out DSL. It's only 50 mb, and you can run it emulated within Windows if you download the dsl-embedded zip file.
