Anyone recommend a good build? Easy to use and easy to install. I will be using this for a dual boot system.

My friend (Edddie here on Acurazine) uses Gentoo, but he said compiling took a few hours.

Thanks guys.

 

Redhat

 

 

Although most say its not as good as other versions, its easy to use and still a million times more stable than windows.

 

How could I install a linux boot up without having to format? I have 13gb free, but it is all in one partition....

 

Two quick additional questions:

1) Do all the current popular distros use RPM's for binary packages?

2) Do any of the popular distros have Web based patch management ala Windows Update?

 

You can use VWware Workstation, it allows different OS to run in a Windows environment, a totally independent system and not just an OS emulator.
