Just to chime in with my $0.02.

I started using Linux with Slackware v7.1 with a 4 CD boxed set that I 
bought at BestBuy.
I have since upgraded to v9.1 from source that I downloaded from the 
Slackware site.

I dual boot XP/Linux.  No problems.
I connect to the internet through a DSL modem using RoaringPenguin software.

Works great.

If you can carefully follow directions, you should be able to get Linux
up and running with no problems.

I had to do very little editing of files to get Slackware running.  It has 
definitely gotten easier since v7.1.
