You love music.
You love the rain.
You love shopping.
You love working late.
You love losing yourself.
You love missing the last bus home,
And walk with a Sony Ericsson mobile
phone in hand listening to ‘Hotel California’ :)

If you are tired of the blue screen called Windows, which you installed paying royalty fees to
Microsoft, or illegally (punishable under the law) from pirated CDs
from friends and underground shops...

If you have a computer and you are bored of watching movies in Windows Media Player and
listening to mp3s in Win Amps; and you are so _seriously_ wondering
how to play around with the hardware...

If you are - a geek, a hacker in the making.

If you heard about Linux, but don't know how to start with.

Come on you students and teachers, come on you aunties and grandfathers,
strangers and legends, painters and pipers...

Shine on with Linux.
Welcome to the machine !!

1. Keep a back up of all your most important files from Windows - burn them to a CD, or move them to your friend’s hard disk.
2. If you have more then one partitions, save all the important files from say “D drive” (or any drive of your choice) for you are going to make it the Linux partition.
3. If you have only a C drive, then you gotta recreate a new partition table.
4. You may wonder about the sizes of the partitions, and how to install etc
   Please follow this documentation here
5. So far you have seen and got to know the how to install, a clear picture must be there by now. The question that arises now is the Linux installation CDs.
   • You can try downloading the ISO images from the web sites of various distributions; burn them to CDs using Nero or some software.
   • For beginners Ubuntu is suggested as it’s very much user friendly:

   • If you don’t have internet connection, or don’t have CD writer to burn the ISO images to CDs, or you don’t have anybody from where you can borrow the Linux CDs - * you can take from us *

You are young, wild and free,
Get your enthusiasms runnin’,
Head out to the highway of unlimited freedom,
Look out for fun and adventure,
And go racin’ with the best hackers of the world.

And whatever comes your way,
Oh Boy, go make it happen,
Take the world in a love embrace,
Like a true nature’s child,
You can climb so high.

Now is the time to BLOOM.
