Q. i have a computer with no operating system on it. It's pretty useless right now so i want to put linux on it since its free. All the sites aren't helping.
I just need to know where i can download linux to a disk and pop it into my blank computer and have it start installing on to it.

A. ok, well to me it seems liek you know nothing about linux. except its free and lots of people say "go with linux its great"
it is great, but only if you know how to use it. it seems you just want a free operating system. Because you want just a new operating system to run i would recommend Linspire, it is what used to be known as "Lindows" although linspire costs something, they do have a free version called "Freespire" it is VERY easy to use it was my first linux distro ( now i am into slackware [Wolvix])
most people will says screw that! learn how to use linux, you can.... but you probably wont, you will probably get bored of it because you just dont know how to use it.
ubuntu is great, mepis is great red hat is great, their are plenty of great ones out there... but its kinda a "to each his own" typa thing if you want a free operating system that is easy to use and you dont have to learn commands just to install a program i would go with Freespire, it is a lot like windows, just faster, safer, and ..not windows.
it has all kinds of free software and windows emulators built it, it is easy to find new software with "click and run" service.
Heres where you can download that: http://www.freespire.org/
also if you do want to learn how to use linux but still be able to use the computer you can do that with this distro as well its still linux

A. Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu
