<p class=MsoNormal>Hi. I am new to linux and wonder what the best way is to go
about getting a linuc system p and running. A quick surf about the web
unearthed more information than I can cope with about useful applications but
no starters guide. Most seem to assume a fair bit of knowledge about linux. Which
flavour of linux should I go for and is there a user group that would guide me
over the initial problems?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I should say that I have some limited vision left so could
manage to install using a decent screen magnifier.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions gratefully received.<o:p></o:p></p>
