Has any one got any tips on getting and using linux ? I'd like to try it maybe running from a CD or install on a partition

I was looking at any thats free (if pos) or cheap

and where's the best place to post linux related questions ?

I've only used Knoppix a little. It is free & runs off a bootable CD.

Here is a Knoppix Forum:
