I would like to install Linux as my main operating system on my laptop. I currently have windows XP installed on my Compaq Presario 700. I am having major problems with my laptop and this seems like a perfect time to start over and learn some stuff about linux. I would like to wipe out everything on this laptop, Windows included and start fresh with linux. My main use of this laptop is "internet surfing/learning linux" as it is a little older and I have better computers for other applications.
Here are my system stats,
900mhz mobile AMD processor
256MB RAM
CD rom and floppy drive

So my question is, where do I start? How can I wipe out everthing on this computer and install Linux?

I am installing Debian (Linux) to my PC.. I have a CD rom. The last stage of installation, it ask me to fill in the apt-sources so that I can get extra packages from the internet. In my polyteck, I was told to type in
:
deb http://kate.tekotago.ac.nz:9999/debian stable main
deb:http://kate.tekotago.ac.nz:9999/security stable/updates main

The lines will go into a text file etc/apt/source.list
but outside the Polytek, the kate server doesn’t work.
What should I type then?
Pls note that the answers should includes directories not just mirror sites. That is, 2 sentences that I can fill in the source.list. I have tried replacing the http.kate.otago.ac.nz with ftp.nz.debian.org and it didn,t work.

2 computers:

Another computer Celeron 600, 128 M RAM

Only one monitor

ADSL Modem

I have 10G files, in 6 hard disks (I totally have 8 hard disks)

5 large hard disks, 6 G, one hard disks 15G

In another location, I have another computer.

I have 4 network adapters in my office.

I use Celeron 600, RAM 128 M, 4.5 G hard disk to install SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Desktop

Attach the hard disk, Boot from CD-ROM, install SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Desktop?

I will use Hard Disk Tool CD first, Attach the hard disk, Boot from CD-ROM, zero the hard disk.

Then Boot from CD-ROM, install SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Desktop?

Please tell me the details step by step.

Set bios, boot from CD-ROM.

Then?

Then?

Next?
