I recently found this boxed copy of Linux for Windows from 2001. But what is it?!
It also looks like a fairly easy and straight forward install process. but yeah I watched the vid yesterday and it was a weird thing.
I remember back in like '99 or 00 my Dad and I tried to install Mandrake on the family PC. We watched A LOT of “The Screen Savers” on TechTV and they were always going on and on about Linux and how great it was so we figured we’d give it a shot. Went to Babbages and had to buy a copy. yes, we bought Linux. My Dad figured he could get it going because he knew DOS well enough to navigate directories and what have you.
We totally borked it when it came to the partitioning part. wiped the XP install by mistake and then couldn’t get Mandrake to install. we THEN had to go back to the store and buy a copy of XP because the reinstall cd that came with the PC didn’t work. so it was an expensive Linux attempt.
Now we both use Linux on our machines but we both waited like 20 years before giving it another shot. My dad uses Slackware (He loves it) and I’m on NixOS.

What a heartwarming tale of adventure!
Sounds awfully similar to my first attempt at installing Linux 🤣
