How to Run Linux Operating System

Open your internet browser.

Type "www.linux.com" into your adress bar.

Go to the Downloads page.

Choose your version of linux. I will assume that you are using Ubuntu, the version at the very bottom of the page.

Go to the download page for Ubuntu, It should be right below the name.

Enter all of the options that you would like to use, and select the location nearest to you so that it downloads as quickly as possible. Then click "Download now"

The download may take a while, it is rather large, be patient.

Burn the ISO image (NOT THE FILE) to a blank CD, you can use a variety of programs, I use DVD Decryptor, it is free and does what it has to. If you would like to use this, search it in Google and download it, then go to Mode/ISO/Write. The press burn now.

Once the burn is complete, shut down your computer and take out the disk. (Not in that order, but I hope that you get the idea)

Turn on your computer and go to your BIOS mode setup. To get here, there should either be an instruction on the screen as the computer is turning on or you may need to continually press the delete key as it is turning on. If neither of these work for you, look up how to do it on your specific computer.

There should be a section of the bios menu that says "BOOT". Navigate to there using the arrow keys, and set the CD drive to start up first, before the hard drive. or the DVD Drive, depending on which drive you prefer to use.

Insert your disk into the drive that you selected.

Go to "Exit and Save Changes". When prompted, press yes. The computer should restart, leave it. If you are prompted to press a key because there was an error, go ahead and press it.

Linux should be starting up, hope I was helpful!
