Hi,
I am a current XP user and i wanted to explore the Linux OS. I have a book on Linux C and had RH for dummies. I wanted to know, what is the easiest way to partition the hard drive without jacking up my files on XP? I tried the way suggested in the RH book. FDisk i think. I was trying to put in the Linux Partition and it said gave me and error message saying something about giving a valid partition. Also, is RH the best version? THANKS,
