Yes. Go to www.linuxiso.org - you download an iso file and, in the process of being burned, it expands into many files and fills the disk.

And welcome to LQ :D

Before you actually install Linux, you might want to burn something called a live evaluation version. By going to www.linuxiso.org, you will find a button called Knoppix. Click on that, download the ISO, burn it, and put it into your CD drive and restart your computer. It will boot up a working Linux system off of the CD and it won't touch your hard drive. This is the best choice to see if you like Linux.

or you could even try ZipSlack. Its a version of Slackware that gets installed on a windows partition. It has the same basic functionality of linux, but it's in your windows partition. www.slackware.com for more info

Moderator note: moved to Linux - Distribution as it's the best forum for this thread.
