hi all, I am a new member of the group and first thing that I would like to know is how to get the software.How can I get the media kit for fedora project? Best Regards, Aakash Munjal An easy place to start is http://www.linuxiso.org you can download ISO images which can be burned to bootable install CD's using Easy CD Creator, Nero, or other PC burning tools. I did not mention the Linux ones. You boot off the first CD and the install will walk you through building a Linux system. It is expected that you have disk space on the system on which to place the Linux system. Since you are new to Linux, one good approach is to take an older machine and convert it to Linux. This is simpler than a dual boot machine and you will not wondering in the back of your mind whether you trashed something you shouldn't. Linux makes much better use of the hardware than Windows so you can get decent performance out of a slower box. If you must use the dual boot approach, adding an additional hard drive is a reasonable approach because again, you don't have to worry about deleting the wrong thing and rendering the existing system useless.
