Booting 2 OSes

[Moose or Chuck]

yes you can. Linux will help you create it's own partition when you try to install it. Atleast Mandrake does.

[Diego Cueva]

Cool. Maybe I will get Mandrake...

[Moose or Chuck]

get partition magic you could run a hundred os's all on the same hd.

[Diego Cueva]

Well, I could, if I had a 300gigs HD... But with 30gigs I think 3 OS are fine for me.

[Moose or Chuck]

just a suggestion. Partition magic 5 is a cool piece of software.

[Diego Cueva]

ok, give me the site adress for the app plz.

[Moose or Chuck]

i dunno.

[Diego Cueva]

Oh, well, thanks anyway, I will search on Cnet downloads to get more information. Hope it´s free.

[RavenRay]

Partition Magic is not free.

[Moose or Chuck]

nope, but alot of times when u buy linux they give u partition magic.

[Diego Cueva]

Yeah, just noted that<br>

[Moose or Chuck]

Partition Magic is BUILT INTO THE MANDRAKE INSTALLER!!!

[Diego Cueva]

Yeah, but is Mandrake free?

[Moose or Chuck]

YES, IT IS! All Linux distros are free. That's one major reason why they are better than Windows. And they are open source, so if Linux ever does crash you can go in, find out why, and recode it so it won't crash again.

No, they are not "FREE!".<br><br>They are open source, but that doesn't mean that chaos reigns and everyone can just go altering the OS on a whim. Linux is maintained by a board, and all code must pass through that board before it becomes a part of the OS.<br><br>So Joe-Blow can't come in and rewrite the I/O and distribute it, just because he thinks his routines are better.
