What is the best distribution of Linux (features- and ease of use-wise), and how do I install it?
 
Use FC3. It's extremely easy to install, easy to use and totally free (both in code and price).

What about Gentoo, Debian, or Slackware? I have heard they are very good.
So many flavours and types of sweets or lollies, same thing with Linux. I downloaded various Live cd's to have a taste of the various distro's.

Go here and have a read... http://distrowatch.com/

Seconded. It has everything you could want, and great for beginners. I'm using it.
 
I still hope to use Debian as my main distro though. Maybe I'll use it full-time when Sarge comes out.
 
So Fedora Core 3 is the best as to what I'm looking at. How do I install it?
 
Just get the cds, put the 1st install cd into your CD-ROM, change the BIOS boot order to boot frm cd-rom and just wait for the installation program to boot up and follow instructions. It's really easy. The anaconda installer is really great.
 
Would there be any advantages for a non-programer to run a duel OS machine? I have been thinking about adding Linux as something to play with, but I really dont know what I would want it to do for me that Windows doesnt already do.
