[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1114867, member: 96560"] I second [USER=61091]@simmerskool[/USER] 's view. Use a virtual machine, it is better than dual boot. a) if using Oracle VirtualBox, you can setup dynamically sized vm hd, it will start out small and grow as you put more things into that vm. b) as [USER=61091]@simmerskool[/USER] said, you can add many more Linux vm's as you go along. You will want to try other distro's, but dual boot will limit you depending if you pre-allocate spare empty partitions to allow for more distro's . The only thing about using vm's is that your Linux cannot use all of your ram, the vm hypervisor and host OS ( windows) will need to use 2gb. But any Linux will be happy with 6gb ( assuming you have 8 gb total ) [/QUOTE]
