[GRLUG] newbie help

[Cameron]

Hi,

I'm not trying to create rookie spam here, but I couldn't see any way to
filter this email to the appropriate parties.  I could really use some help.
I have tried to download and burn iso images at least a half dozen times for
a few distros of Linux.  No matter what I do, I can't get any of them to
boot.  I have tried some user forums and followed all kinds of advice to no
avail.  I have tried different disk burning programs, different speeds, bit
torrent downloads, and the list goes on.  Does anyone have a clean copy of a
current release for a user-friendly Linux distribution that is easily
understood by newbies.  Or, does anyone have a "silver bullet" for getting a
clean iso image disk for installation.  I'm sick of Windows and want to
change, but currently frustrated by obtaining Linux.  Please help.

 

Regards,

 

Cam
