[CALUG] still need a consultant to set up linux partition or equivalent

[Ainsley]

Agreed, 

In my experience it always worked out better to install windows first followed by other OS that would know what to do with windows. I recall a while back having Windows, Linux and Solaris on a single laptop hard drive. Today I run Debian with at least 6 VMs in a KVM/Qemu env. On a single hard drive on a laptop.
