Unix and Linux
Dear forum members,
Cany any ones of you that are knowledegeble tell me about unix and linux operating systems. Would it be advisable or even doable to download one of these systems to my windows based pc just to try it out. How much work and risk would be involved in this? Presently I have a Dell 4550 with WinXP home ed.

It is very easy to try Linux out on your machine, there are several distrobustions that supply a live cd. What this allows you to do is boot of the CD to try the system out. If you like it you would need to repartition your hard drive and make room for Linux to be installed.
A few Live Cd's are
Fedora project

Ubuntu
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu
Long list of Live Cd's FreeBSD and others

If you need more information let me know.
Thanks.

If you need any help, there are many topic going around at the web, so just search, so not too hard to learn.
Just download the live CD and try it out, if you like it, then only install it.
