Had a question about linux

I was wondering, do I download all six things that you download with bittorent to install linux?

No. All you need is one of the .iso files.

1. - 3 are for i686, and the other 3 for 64 bit processor.
2. arch-0.7.2.iso cd contains all packages from current repo
arch-0.7.2-base.iso contains only base system packages (no graphic envoirement etc)
and arch-0.7.2-ftp.iso contains only installer.
The advantage of the second and third cd is that you don't download things you don't want, and you install fresh versions of packages.

You don't seem very "pro" to me so may I suggest:

www.ubuntu.com

If its your first time installing linux. (might make a more pleasant experience)

You don't want 0.7.2, trust me. Read the news and get 0.8.
