 noob to linux, possible 2 OS on my system?
OK.. I don't know If I'll like linux but I want to try it.. i always have.. so I'm installing it on an old P.O.S. dell to try it out. If i like it I may move to linux completely.
But, is it possible to have 2 OS's on one comp(1 HD)? Like I've seen people when they start their computer it says like "choose either: windows xp pro, windows 98" .. so would it be possible to install linux but keep my Windows XP Pro? and be able to switch between the two?
also.. can I run some windows prog.s on linux? or how hard would it be to get like an emulator that will run windows programs?
