Right now I am a windows user (please don't stone me!) and ive been getting really tired of window's rigid design. so i was looking at other OS. i read up a little bit on linux, and it seems pretty cool.

but i have NO CLUE how to install it, (DO you install it? 0.o) or how it runs, ive just got tons of questions and dont know where to start.

Oh help me please gurus of linux knowledge! show me the enlightened path!

there is no enlightened path....but there sure are a lot of guides..

The big thing right now is that all the major versions of Linux come in a "live CD" version. Just boot the CD and you are running Linux. Then install it if you want to.

Take a look at my "getting started" link below.

what id did was download a linux iso and burned it to cd with infarecorder, or u can request a free cd from some disros like ubuntu, and on ubuntu there is a pretty simple install wizard

Here's a great linux audio podcast

Since you are a beginner, start with episode 1 and so on...

If you're really new to Linux, but want to know more about it, here's my recommendation:
1) unless you're familiar with burning ISO images into real discs (no, it's not regular data burn, but a special case), grab a free/non-cost Windows program called imgburn (which is basically "open, select ISO, click burn" program) to be able to burn ISO images onto CD/DVD discs, or if you are familiar with how it works and have a program already, go with it
2) Go to ubuntu.com and download their Desktop cd (i386 for 32-bit pc, x86_64 for 64-bit) image file (.iso) or if you insist on DVD, the DVD image file. I recommend CD because it's got everything you need and it's a lot smaller
3) Once you've downloaded, use the burning program to burn it onto a CD (or DVD, if you chose that).
4) Insert the disc into your drive and reboot. If your BIOS is set to boot from the CD (DVD) before harddisk, you should be presented with Ubuntu boot menu (if not, visit BIOS to set the cd to be primary boot device, or hit the button to bring up boot menu right after powering on). Select the topmost option to "Start Ubuntu"; it won't install anything yet, you can just try it out.
5) LiveCD takes some time to load, but after it's done, you're presented with a fully functioning Linux desktop. Start looking around...there are other desktop choices available, so if you don't like something, you can surely change that.
6) Spend time with the thing and see how you like it. Things can be changed and configured in several ways, so you can get rid of irritating stuff. Even if you don't like Ubuntu specifically, this is an easy way to get familiar with (any) Linux and the way it works.
7) If you like it, you can click the Install icon on the desktop to install it. Ubuntu knows how to resize your existing Windows partition to make space for itself, so that's not a problem. Before continuing, though, you might want to read some documentation at Ubuntu.com

There are loads of other LiveCDs on the web, for nearly any major (or even not-so-major) distribution. Still Ubuntu offers a very nice, smallish (just one cd) combined live-cd and install cd, it's got fairly good hardware support compared to some other distributions, it's made with user-friendliness in mind and so on. It's not anything you need to try or install, but in my opinion, a very good starting point. After all, world is full of Linux distributions, and you're free to choose..

EDIT: if you use a non-english langauge, you notice you can choose one before starting Ubuntu (from the boot screen). However the language might not be completely translated in the LiveCD (I've found some places where there is still english, where there shouldn't be according to the language selection). When you actually install the operating system, it can - if you're connected to the net when you start the installation - download the newest language files (and other updates, mainly security things during setup) from the internet reposities, so the system is very probably better translated after the install than before it.

If your just moving from windows to linux a good live cd is PCLinux-2007, it's easy to use and sets up about everything on your computer it even setup my Lt modem which I don't use anymore.
