        Can anybody out there answer a few elementary questions on LINUX?
I am familiar with the general concept of the system but I have quite a
few simple questions. Here goes:

- What are the minimun hardware requirements for decent operation? ( I
  have a 386DX40, 4megs and 120megs )

- Recommended hard disk space?

- Can Linux run DOS apps? To what extent?

- Is cohabitation of DOS on the same HD simple or a headache?

- What level of technical knowledge is required to install it?

- Where can I find information text files via ftp? (I'm looking for basic
  info, not a whole manual)

I would greatly appreciate any type of answers, I want to escape the
Gates of hell!

Please respond via email if possible at phil@pixie.login.qc.ca
