How can I download linux OS
 

Hi All,

I am new to linux and on the these site. As a beginner, can someone help me which version/type of linux opearting OS I need to download . Because as it is now on these site I am seeing different types of linux OS. I will also be greatful if a step-by-tutorial is made available for it installation

http://distrowatch.com/ to download a ISO. Since you are new I will provide a Ubuntu step by step since you have not stated which distro you will use in your post with so little info provided.

As a beginner you will probably want to start with one of the easy to install and use desktop distros. Ubuntu may be a good choice, but there are others which can also be easy to install and use.

Other suggestions may be gleaned from some of these pages:

• http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...a_Linux_Distro
• http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...x_Distribution
• http://www.linuxquestions.org/reviews/
• http://www.lqiso.org/
• http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
• http://polishlinux.org/choose/quiz/
• http://distrowatch.com/

If you are interested in learning more about Ubuntu then I suggest starting with one of these pages:

• https://help.ubuntu.com/
• http://ubuntu-manual.org/
• http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php
