Q. i want to download linux os from net for free.. i want to have it without removing my windows xp.. which linux version can i download and from where and i need to know everything about linux.. what is it.. and what is the best version(edit,release) u recommend me to download.
A. I would say go for the superb new Ubuntu 9.04 although still a Beta release it is outstanding.
You have two options.
First download Ubuntu 9.04 Beta http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ Select the top option.
Once you have downloaded the iso. create a Bootable LiveCD using Nero Burning ROM or similar software.
First option.
Ubuntu 9.04 contains a piece of software called Wubi installer on the LiveCD you have just created. With Wubi installer you can install Ubuntu within Windows.
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.
Second option.
Ubuntu 9.04 can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.

How do u download things on linux?
Q. i try to download things on it and see whats already on it but i can't find the program to use it. i downloaded it using a flash drive and its fedora. (i'm trying to find something like the linux version of Add or Remove Programs on a windows machine) is there any way to get that off of the internet or something? any thing would be nice. thanks in advance!!! :)
A. Did you boot Fedora from a flash drive? It shouldn't matter, you should still be able to install programs to it.
I would guess and say you are thinking of Linux in Windows mode. I don't mean this bad, anyone that went from Windows to Linux has gone through it. Linux (is the kernel not the operating system but this is just being technical) is different and you can not do things the same way you do in Windows. This is not a bad thing. I have been "Windows free" for years and once you learn how to use Linux it is MMMUUUUCCCCHHHH better.
Most Linux distributions use a package manager to download programs form a repository and then install the programs along with any needed dependencies. You can think of it like Google Play or Apples App Store.
I do not use Fedora and can not tell you the exact details of their package manager, but it works like any other package manager. I believe the default desktop environment in Fedora is Gnome. You can access the package manager by System Settings on the main menu. You should see an entry for Package Management .

If you are going to make the the switch from Windows (or Mac) to Linux (which I wholeheartedly recommend) and are new to Linux, use a distribution made for beginners like Mint or PCLinuxOS. These will work the best out of the box.

Can you tell me a good Operating Sistem for my old laptop ?
Q. I have a 128 MB RAM, 800 Mhz, 10 GB HDD Laptop and with XP works slow. I need a recommendation but other than Win XP,98,95,2000,me ... I`m thinking at a Linux version.
A. The older linux versions would work better than the new more flashy ones like ubuntu or mint. As they require about the same specs as XP.
