</div>where is your computer located? Is your primary OS Windows or Mac OSX.<br>
<br>
If windows, which windows?<br>
<br>
Is it a laptop and thus mobile?<br>
<br>
I an north of Baltimore around 10 minutes north of Towson. I have set up a<br>
number of dual boot systems. However it is easier to do so if you put<br>
linux on the harddrive first and then install the other OS.<br>
<br>
An alternative is to put a second harddrive in the system and put linux<br>
on it. I am most familiar with setting up Ubuntu/Xubuntu flavor of linux.<br>
