I assume you just have a standard Intel based PC, right? In that case 
you'll need the i386 version. If it's a Mac, the PPC version will most 
likely be what you're looking for. If it's a 64-bit AMD computer, the 
x86_64 is an option (at least I think only the AMD 64-bit is supported). 
The reason for not choosing the 64-bit version though would be 
application compatibility. Some apps won't run under it if they are 
pre-compiled.

I see that you're a CSS major, so you'll be in the CS labs right? Your 
quota is not big enough to handle an entire ISO, so make sure you 
download it to /scratch on that machine. Once you burn it, you can 
either delete it from /scratch, or leave it there. It doesn't count 
against you in anyway, and once it gets too full, the sysadmin will 
probably flush the partition.

I've never burned ISO's in the lab, but I see that k3b is installed. I 
recommend using it if you can figure it out.
