How to get started in LINUX

Another option - why not consider OpenBSD? I've got a very old machine that OpenBSD is running quite happily on.  Don't ask me too many questions about it though as I don't use it much

But might be something you want to try.

Okay, but I do have 2 questions:
1. How old is this computer? (specs if you know them)
2. What Desktop Environment does it use (KDE, LXDE etc.)?

Lubuntu is a great distribution for slower computers... I am a big fan of Ubuntu - the community is active, it is stable and it is easy to work with... so many pros and the best factor: it is for free and u can use it for every need! 

I love Linux

You could run any Linux variant you like without the front end, i.e window manager, even on a 386 it would fly.
