If you want to learn more about linux before install, you can start from "The Linux Installation HOWTO" and other docs from "Getting Started" category http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/os.html#OSGS

Hi Joe,

several ways for installation exists.
1. from original CD
2. from network (NFS,SAMBA, FTP,HTTP)
boot iso needed, You may obtain it from vendor site, e.g. SUSE and than you can install Linux from some FTP mirror, see vendor site, or you can download all distro pakages via FTP to your server and install from there (better, much faster).
3.Or you can also download CDx.iso and burn whole distro to your own CD (e.g. SUSE)

If you don't want all eyecandy and wan't to get some stable/secure distribution, go to slackware or debian. You will probably get something closer to HP.
