To make it easy you should burn the ISO-images to CD-ROM. Use a programm
like Nero. It should recognize the ISO-Format.

It depends.
In germany there are groups called LUGs (Linux User Groups). To make
things easier i suggest to join such a group and use the same system
they use ;-)
While SUSE is meant to be a good choice for Newbies they are on the best
way to degenerate to a copy of Windows.
Therefore i think redhat is a good choice. You will be administrated in
the beginning, but you are able to leave the administrative way if you
want to learn more about linux.
btw. to get a good introduction to the Linux Operating System i suggest
to take a look at Knoppix:
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-old.html
After downloading and burning the image the CD is bootable and it
runs straight from the CD. You do not have to install anything.
Have a look at it. You will be suprised what Linux can do on the
Desktop.
The advantage is that you will be able to determine if your hardware is
supported by linux without losing any time.
Itīs based on the debian Linux distribution which is known to have the
best package management.
