Installing Linux

Hey, just wondering if any one knows of some good articles/tutorials on installing linux?? my plan is that i have an old pc, and i want to turn it into a linux server, which runs my web sever (php/mysql/apache), shares my internet connection, and can get my email??

any articles would be good.

Thanks

Ben,

I ran RedHat 7.1 for a while, which wasn't all too bad, but I just didn't have the time to play around with it enough... The install was as easy as installing a windows application..

Which distribution do you plan on installing? Any ideas?

Im probally going to install Redhat 7.2 or 7.3, I have a mates web sever that he has given to me, with redhat, apache, php and mysql, but theirs something wrong with it, and i would like the experience of installing linux

Ben,

The installation isn't hard at all... Check out their site and download the ISO files...

Depending on the version you want to install, it should be as simple as installing windows.

Play around with it first and get a feel for it. I wouldn't recommend you start using it for your main development machine... If you decide you like it, keep the setup and use it as your main machine.
