Hi Ari
An easy way to get started is to download the virtual version. Once you
unzip it, you will find instructions basically, you need to install the
VMware player which is a player (nothing to do with Vinux) which can
play virtual machines). Once installed, you basically start the VMware
player and open the image of Vinux and it is there installed already.
If you had enough of it, you simply uninstall the player and remove the
folders you unzipped that's all there is to it. It may sound
complicated but it is not really.
Alternatively, you can if you want download the standard version instead
burn it to a CD and then boot your CD; Vinux just starts to Speak. To
do this you must make sure in the bios of your computer that it looks
for the CD to boot before your hard drive.
With both methods above your Windows installation will not be affected
in any shape or form.
If you get any problems, join the Vinux development mailing list and you
will get excellent help.
Regards
Isaac

Ok Isaac. I just want to get started the easiest way first without the
really steep curve just yet. I looked at the Vinux web site, and do
you think the best way to get a feel of linux is to download, burn and
boot the CD? I would have like to do the stick one, but it sounds
quite a complicated process to somehow get Vinux onto the stick and
make the stick act as a hard drive.
