I downloaded the beehive version 6. Is it good?

try debian [debian.org I believe], or archlinux, though that one's hard, but whatever you're going to use, be ready to come into some troubles with setting up the network to make internet work...

Alright i got Archlinux. IM not sure how to install linux so im going to need some help. I got version 0.7. I only have one blank cd left so im just going to make sure how to do this. Should i leave it in iso and burn it or should i extract the iso than burn it?

You need to extract the iso, then burn it, use some software like CD BUrner XP Pro, it's free and has loads of features. you get it from here - http://www.cdburnerxp.se/ , once you have instaled it start it up then on the window that opens select the top option (burn/create iso...), wait for it to load, then click file>write disc from iso file, then locate your iso file and burn it to your cd

Motoxrdude · 12-12-2005, 12:24 AM

So woul i be buring one file, the iso, or burning all the files inside the iso?

Are you sure you're ready for Linux?

I don't think you should really start off with ArchLinux anymore, should've got Debian but if you already burnt ArchLinux then try to install it, but good luck on setting up the network. Make sure you have all your IP information written down.
