Ryan:
Yes. There are some good choices.
1. Run it live by ordering the CDrom for free at www.kubuntu.org
2. Dual boot your operating system with Linux and XP.
3. Finally, you can get rid of Windows XP altogether, and run WINE which is a windows emulator that runs on Linux just in case your program wont run on Linux.

own decision usually, I absolutely have study truly some professional Linux, problem is which Linux? Mac? a minimum of with residing house windows and Linux you could chop and modify, they both help an similar ecosystem. once you've residing house windows put in you could remove it and run Linux in case you pick and Viceversa, or twin boot. the theory that Linux is secure and mal-ware loose (virus, secret agent ware) is genuine to a particular quantity, regrettably the further those which have it is going to convey about extra human beings operating as root and any malicious code they run has that privilege. it really is residing house windows problem, new customers are directors by default, some thing they do has administrative privileges and an infection is all too ordinary. That being said, residing house windows is truly ordinary, it really is one among the computer you take advantage of at artwork and there is hence no getting to charm to close curve, help on-line is likewise ordinary to come back by, with one of those huge quantity of customers it isn't going you're the first to journey a particular problem. There are emulators for residing house windows so that you'll run Mac OS, set up the digital laptop and set up Linux, do a search for on emulators and there are plenty. i love residing house windows and Linux, at present computer percentage is gained by Microsoft, and Servers are Linux. see you later as you replace safe practices application (Linux and Mac besides - you want to save patching the kernel as they develop into obtainable for Linux) and make sound judgements about what you do on-line then your journey will be virtually equivalent regardless of equipment you take advantage of. on the topic of application recommendations, each and each has truly some similar possibilities and that i'd locate it astounding that universal application would not be obtainable for residing house windows - only for Linux. Linux and Mac customers are very vocal about 'residing house windows bashing', residing house windows is a important target - yet i love it. Linux runs on virtually no longer some thing, yet some variations will be source hungry once you load Gui's and more suitable amenities. Vista is a hungry in simple terms to load, yet with sufficient factors (maximum new pcs are absolutely equipped) runs nicely. Mac? No theory - not at all used it.

You cant. You can however reformat your HDD, partition it, and install Linux on one one partition and Windows on the other. Or you could by a new HDD and install Linux on that. Google "Linux", the first hit is the 'master' site for Linux distributions. They are all free.
