HI
Welcome at LQ
Of course we will give as much advice as possible ,but give us some information about the advice you need.
For instance are you going to dual boot ?
On one HD or did you use more HD

Hi,

Just want to try out Linux for fun, no special requirements.
Normal sort of applications - Office, Web browser & email etc.

Sorry, don't really know the exact details you after.
Try my best here:

Not Dual booting
CPU AMD 64X2 3600
60GB Sata caddy
2GB RAM

Hope that's enough.

Thanks,

The applications you like to run you find it nearly in every distro
If you like to be sure if all you,re hardware is supported try a the live cd first
Learning cost time , but fun at the same time to discover how things works

all the best
