Hello everyone, I have read some of the articles in this group with great 
interest.

I am a non-technical user who has a non-science background.  Essentially,
I play around in UNIX and DOS environments learning through trial and
error.

Right now I have access to both a 286 and a 386 and would love to try linux,
but I have a few questions I was hoping could be addressed:

1) Are there instructions in how to install it?  I mean, is there a file
   with a basic installation procedure that doesn't require a CS degree
   to understand?

2) How would this operate in an OS/2 environment?

3) What kind of applications would this open to me?  After all, I don't
   write my own programs (though I intend to learn C &/or Pascal at some
   point) and don't use unix for much more than a communication gateway
   in emacs.

Even if two and three don't look very good for me, I'm sure I'll give this
a shot.  

Thanks!
