If you want to install LINUX, please give me some suggestions.

If you want to install LINUX, please give us a suggestion-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. I have taught LINUX SHELL in one course. therefore, I have some knowledge about the basic commands in LINUX SHELL. LINUX is used completely in schools. the school computer is used, so the installation is completely absent. I am full of hard drives on this computer and cannot install LINUX. I don't dare to switch WINDOWS directly .. because I can't do anything in LINUX .. it's similar to the computer idiots on WINXP.

I have an old machine. sai Yang 450 M. now C and D disks have 98 and deep XP respectively. I think since XP runs well, LINUX should be able to run well. the memory is MB. I do not require the latest LINUX. I just want to learn how to install and use LINUX. I have never installed the driver, and I am afraid that the driver will not be installed at that time. the driver cannot be found...

Is it feasible if I want to install an edisk in LINUX? What version should I install?

In addition, if I want to use a virtual machine to play LINUX, what version should I install?

I want to install a real LINUX. I don't have much memory on my computer, and I can't afford virtual machines.

If you have better suggestions, I will not introduce you to overturn all of the above. I just want to learn about LINUX. installing and using it on your own should be a good way... I cannot watch the tutorials.
