I have a p3 1000mhz desktop w256k ram 18.6gig hd, It came w/windows 2000 pro, I upraded to xp.
I want to load linux 3.9 and use that instead of xp.
I boot from cd ( to install operating system) and after given the video choises I hit the space key then it looks like it looks for kb, cd ext....
Then the next thing I know the screen goes "nuts".

I have only ever had experience with windows . Am I installing linux correctly?
