Getting Linux is scary! Help!

Post icon  Posted 12 June 2009 - 07:21 AM

I must just be stupid.

I've searched around and found out about ZipSlack, a Slackware Linux distribution, figured out that I probably just wanted the bare bones A package, and the FTP severs and stuff are confusing me...

There's like 3,000,000,000,000 million different folders and files :crazy: , and I cannot figured out how to get what I need to install zipslack on my computer... Help?

I've looked at it muliple times over the last month or two, and everytime I try and figure it out, it just gets more confusing... That's basically the only reason I'm still running Windows too.... The ftp stuff is scaring me away.... :D

You want to download the iso, for example : http://slackware.cs....kware-12.2-iso/

Alternatively, I'm sure you could purchase the install disks somewhere, relatively inexpensive. I bought slackware from CheapBytes many many years ago for like $2.
