I have learned how to install Linux on a windows (win) PC. I run 50% of the time on Linux & the other 50% on win (because my school requires software that was designed to run on windows). I know about the wine application, but win applications run better on a win OS.
Those wanting to try Linux, go to Linux http://distrowatch.com , download & burn an iso file to a CD as an iso image ( http://download.com has download managers and CD burning software for free).
The versions I like are MEPIS , Damn-Small , or Puppy, because those Linux CDs will boot up and you can try a version before installing it. I have heard some people just run off these 'live' CD versions.
To install Linux so you have a dual 'boot' PC (has both win & Linux), the hard drive needs to be partioned into 3 parts: windows, .5Gb Linux swap, 5Gb Linux.
I have been working just fine on at dual boot PC for years now.
So, my question is: I would like to know how others do it?
