Greetings.
I found that I have a "spare" PC sitting in my cube which no-one ownes or
particularly wants. I've wanted to try using Linux to see what it is
about. The box has a Pentium II processor, 125 megs of RAM, and a one-gig
hard drive, and a CD ROM.
I'd like to set up a web server to test things on, on our corporate
LAN. I've no UNIX or Linux experience, and I'd love some hints as to what
the least-painful way of getting started with Linux. Should I go with a
shrink-wrapped package, one of the cheap disk distributions I know are
available online, or a download? Any good sites with hints and hand-holding?
TIA, and I know I owe some tips... I'm trying to think of something decent.
