I doubt you have a 64bit processor so you need to go with the i386, after looking closer at the link x86 is the i386.

Well I have an AMD Athlon 64...

CPU Info: (1 CPU - AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+, 2.19 GHz, L1: 64KB L2: 512KB )

But, I heard that 64 bits version were not very stable, is it true? Will it works if I take the i386 ?

Yes, the i386 should work fine on a 64bit processor.

Ok, thanks LondoJowo. I'll take the i386 as soon as my monthly bandwidth reset

Thanks for al those fast answer

Check out the top 10 at distrowatch.com. You don't need to download a full DVD. Most distros come on one cd. PClinuxOS is a very good newbie OS. It is based on mandriva, but comes on only one cd, so you should be able to install it. If you just want to try out linux you can get a live cd like knoppix or slax(just 180MB, can be booted from a USB-stick).

Hi. you can install any Linux within Windoze using VMWARE,
download it, and within the tryal period, try any linux distribution you want. Then you can choose.

pd. by the way... you wrote that you have a DVD distro and you use a CD-ROM reader ?

It's a dvdrom which also reads cd.
