new linux user

[Jason Symes]

I'm considering purchasing a second hard drive to install some version of
Linux on, while leaving my Win98SE as my main os. I've never installed a
second os on one system, and I've had vary little experience with other
os's from Windows. I heard about Speak Out from another list, and they
recommended that I contact this list to get some help.

I would appreciate any recommendations that any of you can make.
