Trying to pick a distro?:
I would suggest Ubuntu, since you seem like a complete noob and don't know what your getting yourself into... but if you do then i would suggest Gentoo or openSuse...

It seems you are pretty stupid. .iso files are burner onto a cd with burning programs. For example, you could use Nero to burn the .iso onto a CD. After, you plop in the CD and restart your computer. If you chose Ubuntu the installation will be extremely quick and painless. I am not sure about openSuse though.
You have to keep in mind, that installing a new OS will wipe out your hard drive! everything WILL be lost!
Also, if you have never used any Linux distros you will be pretty weirded out

IMPORTANT-- READ THIS --IMPORTANT
You WILL NOT be able to use most/all .exes
MOST/ALL of your files will be unusable till you get the hang of things

That is all... i see the only reason Linux is good for hacking is just because Linux is better than Windows, lol. But seriously, if you are going to be programming alot (which i doubt you are) or running trainers and stuff... DONT DOWNLOAD LINUX DISTROS.

don't switch OSes just because someone makes the unsubstantiated claim that it is "better", switch if it makes you more productive.

well i guess you right, not all .exe will be useless... except all written in vb and some that are written in c++/c.
Also, i think they where talking about LUnix, so why not try getting LUnix and see if you can do any hacking. I am happy with xubuntu, good for running a server (<3 Samba).
