Ok my only experiance with linux is having to use it for a semester in which I would open a file on the desktop and do java programming. I would like to learn a little more, and seeing as I got a new dual XP1600 machine I figure why not dual boot windows and linux ya know.
My questions, can linux save files that will be accessable to windows? If so how complicated is this?
Next question, I want the dual 1600's to serve this computer, as our house has a WAN network I'm not buying another WAN card, and I can manage to run one more line between 2 computers. Is this easy to setup on a linux box? and how would I go about doing this? I plan on installing mandrake 8.1 and KDE....that sounds right correct?
*edit* also why type of file system does everyone recomend? I plan on using eithier partition magic or the mandrake partition utility....what is everyones thoughts on that?
also how do i get drivers? Dlink doesn't offer drivers for linux for thier WAN card.....
forgive my ignorance of linux
