Linux, is it 11(i have heard )?.

u have a very slow speed to download Linux
redhat now supports the Fedora commuity to bring out free LINUX
latest is fedora core 3
with 4 Cds

that will take a lot of time on ur connection

the best bet will be to get a book ,which comes with linux complimentory CDs
or lookout for the nearest Linux user group in ur area and ask them to help u out

regards

I'm assuming you mean 20GB...

The latest version of RedHat is Fedora Core 3. It's made by RedHat, and you can download it for free.
You can get it from here:
http://iso.linuxquestions.org/version.php?version=88

With your connection, it would take about 85 hours to download. All four CDs are about 2GB. You can get it on a single DVD if you have a burner too.

The installation's really easy - it guides you through itself, have a look here:

Good luck!
