after much reading im going to choose mandrake. what is the best place to download? I am very new to linux. the main worry is setting up my cable modem. in windows all i have to do is put in my computer id and use winipcfg to get my ip address setup. here is a list for some of my hardware, I want to know if mandrake has built in support or if i will need special drivers
samsung syncmaster 753df monitor
sy-k7vta-b with duron 700
16 meg voodoo banshee pci
sound blaster live
I also have a cdrw drive I hope i can use in linux.
I think it would be a good idea for me to dual boot until I understand linux enough. I have a 20 gig seagate hard drive. how should i partition it? i was thinking c for linux, d for windows and maybe e for my backup stuff. i think i remember reading i should install windows first and then when i install linux it gives me the option for dual boot. is this correct? its been a while since i did this. any other tips to get me started? remember I'm just a normal guy and like to hear stuff in english.
