Well, out of pure anticipation, I already booted WinXP on a 74GB partition (99% of HDD) onto it. Is it still possible to set aside 10GB to install Linux? It seems like I'm probably going to go Mandrake first, see how that goes. I always thought that there was always one dominant Linux or something - Redhat...looks like I was rong

.
Now when I partition my HDD with a different OS, would it be like I have a whole new computer operating under a whole different HDD of lesser capacity? I'm new to this partitioning concept, hence my asking. Thanks for the suggestions so far

.
Thanks,
kram
