Hello
I want to move to linux as an os but i dont know where to download it and how to install it and such stuff, so if someone has a clue how do it pls tell me how to do it
Thanks
Fedora installs itself almost (I have fedora). Ubuntu comes with an installer (like your standard application setup in windows)
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Burn it to a disk, insert disk, follow onscreen instrustions.
You won't be able to play a lot of windows games. WINE works but it can't run everything.
I only know a Portuguese version...

If you try Ubuntu. Dont takethe Windows installer one. I suggest installing it from USB/CD instead. LinuxMint is another good distro to start with, or fedora.

I use Ubuntu as the installer on my mac. When i choose to switch over to windows partition on my mac, i have to choose whether i launch Windows or Ubuntu. From my view its alot easier but is not an OS on its own, instead its incorporated into the windows OS.
Install Gentoo
Do i do it when i boot my pc or just when im logged on windwos and insert the cd? or what? ;D
Always from boot. Linux CDs are mostly bootable cds (the only installer being able to run from windows is the new Ubuntu one)
so i have to install it like a windows? i was thinking to have windows and linux. linux for games and windows for school
Linux for games? Lol..
Anyways, you can create a dual boot. Fedora creates a dual boot really easily with the built in manager and Ubuntu can be installed FROM windows. So that is always freaking awesome :D
sudo rm -rf /
generally there's options to install it along with windows or completely replacing windows which deletes everything off the hard drive. At least with the linux os' i have used. Linux isn't really ment for gaming due to its limitations and compatibility with games.
I want to have both windows that i have curently installed and i want to have linux.. now i have downloaded ubuntn but it wont install without boot. so how do i make it bootable with an us(my cd drive is broken)
OK i have installed it and everything. The thing is now how do i download and install GTA San Andreas and SAMP on ubuntu 12.10?

open terminal
sudo rm -rf /
sudo apt-get install WINE
install GTA and SA from within the WINE wrapper.
Ignore the second one.
rm -rf / removes your whole computer.
rm (remove)
-rf (recursive with force)
/ (from the root)
