where is your computer located? Is your primary OS Windows or Mac OSX.

If windows, which windows?

Is it a laptop and thus mobile?

I an north of Baltimore around 10 minutes north of Towson. I have set up a 
number of dual boot systems. However it is easier to do so if you put 
linux on the harddrive first and then install the other OS.

An alternative is to put a second harddrive in the system and put linux 
on it. I am most familiar with setting up Ubuntu/Xubuntu flavor of linux.
