    Hi, I want to install some version of Linux on my pc
    either
    Ubuntu or Fedora or something similar

    My pc is a
    Hp S5565uk with
    500GB HDD
    4GB of ram
    Athlonll X4 635

    It has
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
    Windows XP Professional 32bit

    Our Internet is too slow so i cant download them from the website
    Has anyone got a install disk for Ubuntu or Fedora?

    I wouldn't recommend Fedora to a new Linux user. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

    Unless you're on dial up, just leave the download on during the night etc. Or get it at school / at the job, or have a mate get it.

    Get it from wifi elsewhere, if you download it using torrents, probably have it in half an hour.

    Seeing as you're in Athenry, PM me and you can call over for one (or I can drop it over to you).
