Here’s a pretty good overview and how to on setting up Linux on a Mac or PC. I usually carry a few Ubuntu “live CDs” when I travel – these CDs allow you to boot in to Linux, but it won’t mess up anything on the hard drive. More often than not, the folks I show it to start using Ubuntu, it’s a pretty nice system and this how to is really handy to get it up and running on that old computer gathering dust you might have.

Not that anybody asked, but I give a solid “thumbs up” to Ubuntu. It’s got drivers for everything, it’s easy to use, and it’s well assembled (for example, right out of the box, sudo is actually configured correctly so that you don’t just end up doing everything as root).
I must say that was a great article! Thanks for linking to it. ;-)
