How do I change my O/S
« on: July 26, 2009, 11:37:28 AM »
I have a Toshiba Satalite A135 laptop, about 2 years old. Purchased in Panama it has Vista Home Basic in Spanish. I would like to change to a Linux OS but am not very experienced. I have a blank 1G Flash drive and was wondering, can I download a new OS to the flash and try running my computer on that without messing with my existing system.

Yes you can, provided the Tosh can boot from USB.  Lots of tips and advice here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
