After "upgrading" to MS Windows SP2 (see http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?s=&a...t&p=358105), my

700Mhz CPU,
256 MB RAM,
10 GB HD
computer (Dell Inspiron 2100), is now crippled sad.gif

Can anyone refer me to good resources on replacing Microsoft Windows with a Linux-based operating system? (paper book or e-book, magazines or other periodicals, URLs, forums, etc). I specifically need the information for the Dell Inspiron 2100 laptop.

Over 10 years ago I used Unix (on Digital Equipment Corporation's Ultrix o.s.), but now I only vaguely recall what that was like. It might or might not come back to me, like riding a bicycle. At any rate, since that was so long ago, what I knew back then is probably not very useful now anyway.

thank you.
Linda
