yes x86 is for 32 bit amd or intel.

hello which one should i get?

x86 if you're detemined to move to Linux.

im just putting it on as a secondary os

and to host stuff linux is good for hostong right?
and serving?
can you tell me the advantage of linux hosting over windows...
just curious

yes, you can "host stuff" on a Linux OS.

no, I can't tell you the advantages.

you cant or you wont?

Whats an advantage for one person may not be an advantage to another.

The best Linux distro, again is down to personal opinions.

Frankly, if you have to ask someone for a link to Fedora or CentOS rather than do a quick search using your favourite search engine then your going to struggle to be productive with Linux. Go, research Linux for a bit, download a few distros and try them out and then go from there.

Bloodhawk;

You are spending a lot of energy thrashing around with random questions. Pick any distribution at random, install it and use it for a while---then you will be asking much better questions.
I infer that you are not in a position to download and make an install CD...If so, the two easiest ways are to:
1. Order a CD from Ubuntu--they even pay the shipping
2. Get a CD packaged with a magazine like Linux Format

Tell us where you are, and there might be more ideas

More generally, there are companies the sell (cheap) all manner of CDs and DVDs for various distros. Google: "Linux CD"
