OK, I am a very technical person. I have installed Operating Systems but they were Minaframes (OS/390 and UNIX). I have a old laptop (Compaq Armada 500) that I want to install Linux on (upon which I wish to install Linux?). But I have been out of the OS biz for a while, so can someone get me started? I am concerned about things like coordinating the BIOS with the OS, getting the proper drivers (especially wifi), etc. etc. etc. Any first steps would be greatly appreciated.
