i just wanted to say i have only recently signed up here at AO, but i love it..all the tutorial sections are great .i start out looking up one specific thing and end up spending hours getting sidetracked reading the vast collections of info..great job!!
i do have one question .. i am totally new at it, but i got a version of linux someone sugested to me called zipslack, i am having troubles making it properly install,and none of the steps that were outlined are working....is this a crappy linux distro or something? i cant seem to find anything to help...should i just get a different version? if so what kind? any help or advice you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated. thank you.
(im really sorry if this seems like a lame 'newbie' question, but i really did try and see if i could get an answer in other tutorials first but i am at a loss.. and i really want to get linux going)

If memory serves i believe zipslack is a version of slackware that you can kinda install on top of windows, no repartition required, I dont really know a lot about it but i would suggest checking slackwares site (http://www.slackware.com)

If you are serious about getting into linux though I would suggest going with a different distro, one that you cant just throw on a fat 32 drive - Mandrake or Red Hat are in my opinion the best for newbies - you will need to partition or get a new HD, but its worth it in the long run

yeah your right it does claim to be able to be installed with no partioning..that is why it was sugested to me..but i think i will just get a different version. oh and thanks for the link, that is actually where i got the download, but it didnt have any additional help.. oh well i think i would be better off getting a more well known distro.
thanks for your help evil homer
