Jason,

Hmm...Redhat/Mandrake is a good one to start with.  Where does the install stop?  Give us more information.

You can get iso images from:
http://linuxiso.org
They have most of the Linux distros at there site, about 55min. if you use a download utility

  Hell everyone.  I joined a few months ago, but have not really posted or asked much, just sat back and watched for a bit.  

  I am trying to install Linux on a desktop system, but I keep running into problems.  I downloaded the ISO files for Mandrake 7.2, Red Hat 7.0, and Corel Linux 2.0, I aslo own a copy of Mandrake WinLinux 7.1.  Out of the four I have had limited success.  Each time I try to install Mandrake 7.2, it locks up and stops installing, as does Red Hat.  I've had the best luck so far with Corel Linux, however I did start having a probem with it not going to the graphical login screen after a few days.  
  Could someone suggest a Linux "flavor" to start out with and where I can download a copy of it.  I have a CD Burner on another system.  I am connected to Road Runner and would like to download it from somewhere that I can get a good connection, and does not take me 5-6 hour to download.

  System Specs:
  AMD K6-2 333mhz
  32 megs ram
  4.0 gig HD & 14.0 gig HD
  SiS 620 Video Card (8 megs Ram)
  ESS Sound Card

  Also when is the next meeting?

  Thanks in advance.
