Getting Linux on your own machine

The data bar machines is running a customized version of Redhat 6.1. If you want to get Linux on your home PC, there are several options. It is possible to buy it at “Polyteknisk Boghandel”, where you will get a nice manual and other goodies. Sometimes the computer magazines includes a CDROM with Linux on, and the IDG booklets also include a CDROM. It is also possible (and legal) just to burn a copy of someones CD. You can borough a CD-ROM at ITU with an updated RedHat 6.1 Linux.

It's no problem if you want to use other distributions than Redhat, the only difference is that some ﬁles and scripts relating to the administration of the machine can be placed different.

Linux can coexist with MS Windows on the same machine, and can read both FAT32 and NTFS.
