Summary
When installing Linux you should:
- Collect information about your computer using the 'System
Properties' screen in Windows.
- Match your system capabilities to an appropriate installation.
You will need to choose between a single or dual boot, and a
partitioned or partitionless installation. VMware and WINE provide
alternative options.
- Installing Linux is best done using the YaST set-up tool.
Once you have Linux installed the KDE desktop environment
provides an easy to use contemporary desktop environment for your
new UNIX operating system.
