I'll assume that you do and just need to know how to download the files and put them on your own CD/DVD. If you have a DVD burner, this is the best option but if not, you'll have to download several (about 6) ISO files. An ISO is an image of a CD which with your CD burning software you can use to create your own Linux Installation CD's. The real trick these days is finding CD ISO's since most of the mirrors only offer the DVD ISO! So you may have to settle for an older version of the distribution that you want or spend a lot of time looking for a mirror with both formats. So you download each of the ISO files to your hard drive. Once they are all downloaded, you need to open your CD burning software and choose the option to burn a CD from an image or saved project and go find the ISO's. You'll need to do this for each ISO file. If you don't know how to use your CD burning software, you'll need to inquire in the proper forums for that info. Hope this helps, vujsa

Do you have another computer, which could act as a file server ? then we could attempt a network install, you only need the files from the ISO distro's, and a boot floppy or flashdisk. so, please, first tell us if a second computer is available in your home network.

LiveCD's! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LiveDistrosUbuntu has free shipping, Imo I'd download a few iso's now and wait till summer to burn them, Ubuntu is very good and you'll be happy with it at least till you see alternatives, probably even then.

Thing is that you will need at least one bootable device, may it be a USB key or optical disc (CD/DVD/BD ... what-have-you). This will allow you to boot your system and install Linux.

I had to do this with Fedora Core 2 awhile back, because my DVD drive wasn't booting properly. No idea why. Anyway, here's what I did: 1) Get a bootable flash-drive distribution like Damn Small Linux and put it on your flash drive. 2) Boot the system with the drive. When booting is done, umount the flash drive remove it. 3) Download the network install (or mini as some call it) ISO image. 4) Format the flash drive as Fat32 and drop the iso image on there. 5) Plug the drive back into the computer and mount it using the -t iso9660 -o loop options. 6) cd into that directory and run the installer. It took about 4 hours, but I was impressed I was able to do it back then.

(Put all the files in the mp3-player, and then boot with it.) Yes! but you have to do some special things to the USB key like set a proper partition type so the BIOS understands that it's bootable. The documentation over at damn small linux's site walks you through all of it.

You need to have a network server, or a pc connected to your own computer. Linux installation tutorials has a detailed instructions on this process, you can visit http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Install (for openSUSE distro). Or if you have a large usb flash drive capacity 3GB or 4GB, you can configure your PC to boot through that flash drive and begin your installation following a detailed procedure on how to do it succesfully, visit http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
