check out this link

just found a link for newbies in linux including myself here it has alot of info on differences of xp and linux with detailed discriptions of vmware and alot of other things check it out

 

I kind of disagree, Yes Ubuntu runs nice in a Virtual Machine (except for MS Virtual PC), but nothing beats having Linux on a separate partition. And Vice Versa, as I use XP in a Virtual Machine when booted on Ubuntu. Works perfectly but I sure wouldn't use that as my dedicated Windows.

 

found one on dual booting of any kind here with info on linux and windows and also windows and windows

 

Here is another Guide that gives you the exact choice of what you want to do.
Screenshots too.

This should set you in the right direction.

yee ive seen that before thanks all the linux newbies (me too) should be helped

 

found a boot manager it claims to support 100 oses what do you think here

 

I say, why bother? If you want to dual boot, grub or lilo should be sufficient. Even if you want to have multiple copies of Windows, they should be able to handle that (not sure though, never tried), and they can definitely handle more than one distro (I KNOW grub can at least, I've never used lilo). Why pay $25 for something when OSS will do just as well?

That is, unless there's some other feature that it has that you need for some reason.

 

just wanted to see if it was real
