Ive been running Ubuntu on a secondary computer for about a month now and ive been really impressed. All of my talking about it has seemed have intrigued him and now he is interested in giving Linux a shot. We both have some questions about it, and i was hoping i could get some help. First off what is a good user-friendly distro that would allow me to easily set up a dual-boot. I was thinking about using fedora, is this a good choice? He needs something that is relatively easy to install and maintain. His computer is as follows:
amd 64 3200 venice
gigabyte k8ns ultra-939,
1 gig of kingston hyper x
x800 pro
Hitachi 80gb sata 150
But basically he would like to have 1 copy of windows on his primary HDD, and then on a second HDD carve a Linux partition into the existing windows one. Is this possible and easy to set up? I'm assuming you just have to configure GRUB to see all 3 OSes and it should be good to go.
