Hi Macdels and welcome to LQ!
I would suggest your look at the Tutorials in the main menu on this site. If you then have any questions, people will be happy to try to answer them.
Cheers,
jdk

Welcome!!

Go to http://distrowatch.com ----Pick anything in the top ten on their "hit list". There are links to the official websites, where you will find instructions for downloading, installing, etc.

It has not been updated recently, but you might find the "getting started" link useful (below in my sig).

I'd also like to suggest using (more) punctuation in your posts. Posts with long run on sentences are very difficult to read.
