I've seen many screenshots from the Gnome desktop and i would really like to get this OS onto my Pc, now i'm currently downloading the LiveCD from the Gnome website but i'm unsure if this is the "actual" software i am after or just a sort of demo, i've tried searching for any distributers but i can't seem to find any, the website says that its a free Software so i'm a little confused to what exactly i am downloading and how i go about purchasing the actual software..

http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/

Is the link where i have started downloading my torrent, any help on this would be much appreciated.
 
No need to appologise i'm a complete newb at anything other than windows, if i have an old version Suse already partitioned on my my hard drive, would that effect anything..

I downloaded a file hoping that it would have everything i needed and burnt the entire folder to a disc and rebooted, nothing happened so i read that i need to alter my Bios to be able to boot from disc, now i am unable to enter Windows and i'm forced to use my Suse, which is what i'm on now..

I'm redownloading a more "specific" iso thats:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/ubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso

So after i have installed this im going to burn it and reboot, hopefully this will work as reading commands and kernals and such things are starting to hurt my head.
 
Ok so i've downloaded the correct and nearest ISO and burnt it to a new disc, for some reason my system doesnt pick it up and wont autorun' ive tried altering my BIOS so it will boot from the CD Drive but that doesnt seem to make any difference, any more help on this please ?
