Some people are curious with a different operating system. You may have heard of Linux, but are not sure you actually install it on your computer to just take a look how it worked. There is a way to try Linux without installing anything. This is done by a so-called Live CD.
The first thing you should do get a Live CD for Linux. Some stores have live CD that you buy a very cheap price. You can access sites such as Ubuntu and load the CD and burn it onto a blank CD of your choice. You can get a free CD by many Linux distributions. You can also buy a magazine with a Linux CD to get into them, with an operating system on them.
Once you have the CD, insert it into the CD-ROM drive and shut down the PC. If you turn it on, you should start the option, the computer normally or boot from the CD. If you boot from the CD, not deleted or you lose your computer. The operating system is run from the CD and you can try what you want. Once you stop, all changes will be lost, but you can keep the CD as long as you want.
There should be some considerations to keep in mind. There are many Linux distributions or versions, you can try. Ubuntu is a good starting point, but there are many others to try. A live CD runs slower than if you had installed the operating system on the computer. If something is slow or too late, it is probably because the distance between your computer read from the CD and view on your screen.
