How Do I Install Linux?

This FAQ applies to: All

Once you obtain a distribution, it will contain instructions on installation. Each distribution has its own installation program.

There is a very thorough installation guide on line at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/linux.html

Some distributions (e.g., Debian GNU/Linux) can be installed via anonymous FTP from various Linux archive sites, but unless you have cable, DSL, or some other broadband Internet access, the size of the distribution makes this impractical. See Where Are the Linux FTP Archives?.

Postings on the Usenet News groups, including the FAQ, are archived on http://groups.google.com/. Search for news:comp.os.linux, news:alt.uu.comp.os.linux and their subgroups, or whatever is appropriate, to retrieve articles from the Linux News groups. See What News Groups Are There for Linux?.
