Recently, I wanted to put Linux on my computer to play around with it. I've never really had any direct experience with linux, so I thought i'd get a couple of manuals and play around with it. Well, I tried three different installers (Redhat, Mandrake, and SuSe), and the problem I encountered with all three of them was, while the installer was running when I would first boot the computer, it seemed to load about halfway and then always freeze up. I tried a several different methods for installing, but to no avail.
This is the system i'm using:
Dell P3-800
512MB Crucial
30GB Quantum Fireball 7200
Any insight as to what my problem could be would really help me out. Thanks!
