    How can you have a website in your signature about using Linux and still asking for a link on how to install Redhat??

    Btw: Practically installing linux is no different than installing any other OS. You download the os, burn it to a cd, boot computer from cd and follow the simple steps (Like clicking "Next", Checking the "I agree" checkboxes, Entering your computer name, Choosing a time zone etc.)

    Here are some more infos:

    Let me google that for you

    Regards!
