Where is the offical site to download linux?

Q. How do I know which is the best place to download Linux? How do I know that the site I download form is a offical site of Linux?

A. There is no "official" linux.

There are many different distributions or 'flavors' of linux. some are easier to learn than others. some are on CD some on 2 or more.

When I was interested in Linux I went to www.linuxiso.org

That site has downloads for 15 or 20 distributions of linux and links you to the official download site for that particular distro. I would recommend going there first.

Before you download and install any distribution make sure that all your hardware and software is compatible and download ALL the necessary drivers before you make the big switch to linux or you will be in a world of hurt trying to find these drivers after the face, especially if the driver you are looking for is for your video, keyboard, or internet.

Linux can be good to learn and has advantages over windows XP and possibly over Vista as well such as security, lack of viruses, and stability.

How do you download Linux to a Windows XP PC without downloading Windows 7?
Q. I need to download Linux so i can get a software on my PC called Rosegarden which only runs on Linux..i know of some ways to download Linux but you need to have Windows 7 which i do not but i really need Rosegarden and i cannot buy windows 7..any help? thankss :)

A. Uh? Why the heck would you need windows 7 to use Linux? It's a FREE Operating system, who ever says you need windows 7 is full of bull. Download a distro (ubuntu is likely best for a beginner) bear in mind, Linux is NOTHING like windows and you may find yourself frustrated and lost.

knock yourself out, but remeber it's not easy. burn to a dvd and then just run it at start up.

how do i download linux to a blank computer?
Q. i have a computer with no operating system on it. It's pretty useless right now so i want to put linux on it since its free. All the sites aren't helping.

I just need to know where i can download linux to a disk and pop it into my blank computer and have it start installing on to it.

A. ok, well to me it seems liek you know nothing about linux. except its free and lots of people say "go with linux its great"

it is great, but only if you know how to use it. it seems you just want a free operating system. Because you want just a new operating system to run i would recommend Linspire, it is what used to be known as "Lindows" although linspire costs something, they do have a free version called "Freespire" it is VERY easy to use it was my first linux distro ( now i am into slackware [Wolvix])

most people will says screw that! learn how to use linux, you can.... but you probably wont, you will probably get bored of it because you just dont know how to use it.

ubuntu is great, mepis is great red hat is great, their are plenty of great ones out there... but its kinda a "to each his own" typa thing if you want a free operating system that is easy to use and you dont have to learn commands just to install a program i would go with Freespire, it is a lot like windows, just faster, safer, and ..not windows.

it has all kinds of free software and windows emulators built it, it is easy to find new software with "click and run" service.

Heres where you can download that: http://www.freespire.org/

also if you do want to learn how to use linux but still be able to use the computer you can do that with this distro as well its still linux
