How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Vista installed first) | APC Magazine How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Linux is already installed) | APC Magazine The definitive dual-booting guide: Linux, Vista and XP step-by-step | APC Magazine A Vista vs. Linux Matchup - Part 2: Dual-booting Vista and Linux
I honestly would stick with XP for now because dual booting with vista at the present time is really uncharted at the present time. if you are going to do it two seperate HDDs would be best. Install windows on one linux on the other.
I'd reccomend using the Gparted Live CD for this you can find more info here:
GParted -- Welcome GParted -- Documentation
as for distros:
Kubuntu
Kubuntu - The KDE Desktop
Mandriva
Mandriva One - Mandriva Linux
PCLinuxOS .92
FTP archive directory /pub/metalab/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distr...glish/preview/
This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.
