[NTLUG:Discuss] Installation questions from rank beginner:

[Dan Lobb]

Thank you Steve and Jim, I have both Red Hat and Corel. Which of these 
version, Red Hat or Corel is simpler to install for a rank beginner?

Would it be simpler to install to the OS-less computer, the one with Win95, 
or should I install DOS on the OS-less computer then Linux? If I go with 
the win95 machine, do I remove that system before or after I install Linux? 
I don't want to partition since the hard drive is small as it is.

Thanks again,

Dan
