Question

Dual Boot

Quote:

The main question is "what do you want to use it for" are you going to Dual boot?

I read this and i am a total noob to linux but may install it on a spare laptop but is this possible to boot two OSs at once? I've never heard of this

Yes, when you install Linux, it will setup either LILO or GRUB, depending on the distro. These will allow you to dualboot Windows and Linux.
