ok, i just finished backing up all my important files from my 30 GB drive. I am going to format it,
partition 20 GB for windows rest for Linux

Going to install windows, not even finish the drivers, then install linux in the remaining space and see if Mandrake will correctly set up my dual boot, going by the way it has liked this PC I beleive it will. this is exciting. Finally getting my foot in the door to linux.

Bring back memories of the Linux Red Hat server we had where I used to work, I could add users to the system, but other then That I was totally lost on it.

I know what linux can do for me, know learning how to make it do it is another thing.
