KDE/Windows MCE dual boot system
I'm tempted to move over to a fully linux operating system, but I'd much rather try it before I make the jump. A dual boot system seems like the solution. KDE seems like the Linux system of choice (although I am open to suggestions) but I cant find any guides for installing it and keeping windows.
I have 2 drives in the PC, each with 200gigs. the one with windows installed on is sitting about 50 gigs free, the other is empty. I could use the D drive for linux?
Could someone point me in the direction of a dual boot set up guide?
thanks
RE: KDE/Windows MCE dual boot system
Please note that KDE is not an operating system, it's just a graphical user interface for your daily work.
Recent distributions offer a step in the installation process to create new partitions on your harddisk (you need at least two: a swap partition and the actual Linux partition). Kubuntu is an example which offers such step during install. You can perfectly install this together with an existing Windows installation.

so KDE isnt a version of Linux, but more of a pretty shine that goes on top?
how stupid do i feel now?
Don't worry, you're not the only one who makes that mistake.

I did some searching and rather than a Dual boot system I've decided to use VMware, I'm currently downloading Suse 10.2. If I like it, I might use dual boot to test that everything works ok in Linux, that test successfull I might remove windows all together
