Kind of off topic, but I am wanting to try out linux myself.  Not to program
though, just want to play with the operating system.  I eventually want to
set up an old 486/33 as a internet gateway for the home network.

I was wonder where I can download Linux, and where I can learn about it.  I
tried www.linux.org but it seemed confusing to me.

Thanks

-Tim
