    It is free. Follow the instructions here. You will need to download a CD image (.iso file) and burn it to a CD/DVD or create a USB installer.

    select the specify partitions manually option.
    defrage a drive to combine all the free spaces together.
    now just add the swap space( double the size of your ram).
    then specify 2 or 3 gb to / partition
    and if any space is left make it to a fat32 drive.
    then just sit back and let it install
    happy computing

    Glad you liked it, but this thread is old and needs putting back to sleep.
