I want to get downloaded and installed linux which is best suitable for a new leaner like me, in a seperate new pc from the scratch.

Well, head over to www.distrowatch.com and pick one of the top ten varieties of Linux (called distributions, or distros) to download. The download instructions are simple, and you'll end up with a file with the file extension .iso. These are CD images which need to be burned onto a CD-R.

Then, you need to restart your computer with the Linux CD in the CD drive, and follow the instructions on the screen to install it. It's generally fairly painless.

After that, it gets a bit more specific as things are slightly different between each distro.
