[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux on Laptop

[Paul Ingendorf]

Generally speaking dual booting is not a problem and most major distros will
ask you if this is what you wish to setup when they see the windows install.
Some will require you pre-partition the drive to allow for a swap and linux
partition, others will allow you to run within the windows partition and a
few have built in autosizing partitioning tools that will enable you to
configure the size of the partitions at installation.

I have had a lot of sucess with mandrake for these type installs and I have
not yet had the chance to experiment with fedoras dual boot support but I
can only imagine it is equal to or better than mandrakes.

I just recently purchased a Tosiba Satellite laptop running XP.
Generally speaking will it be much of a problem to install a Linux
Distro and duel boot?
