Linux without losing Windows: dual-boot system

Uisge Beatha · 07-25-2007, 08:04 PM

I just recently looked into Ubuntu and gave it a quick try from Live CD. Since I have an old PC with a couple of spare HD's around, I figured I'd install Linux on one of them. I guess I've got to get back to that.....

UT, I don't remember any names, but I did see some Linux-friendly substitutes for Quicken (in case you're at all interested). One that I looked at briefly was supposed to be file format compatible. I'll have to remember to check which one that was, once I get things up and running.

I really love the idea of a legal system running free sofware, and there truly is a wonderful amount from which to choose. I already use some applications that are available in Linux versions (notably Firefox and VLC). I plan to keep a Windows drive around (basically for a couple of games), but look forward to exploring the world Linus gave us.
