Get a bootloader if you want to get linux and windows on the same hdd!

i dont think that partiotioning are problem...

coz there r problems with mandrake, it isnt...coz mandrake has diskdrake in installation (partitioning program) and you set up partitions in installation...
and yes, winxp and linux works fine on same hdd...

best bootloader there is is LILO (included in mandrake), it is linux bootloader that suports ALL systems...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEST DISTRUBUTION. ALL LINUXES HAVE GOOD AND BAD POINTS. IT'S UP TO YOU! YOU'RE THE JUDGE, OTHERS CAN SUGGEST, BUT THERE'S NO "BEST" DISTRUBUTION.

FOR EXAMPLE: Mine is SuSE Linux 9.1


Kernel: 2.6.4

yea Xbox guy is right but if you have problems installing Linux or cant make a partition ask me on msn lightningxb@msn.com I will help you out with an easy program i can give ya. Then just install and use the free space you create with the program and its so simple. I have Linuc Mandrake and Redhat and Windows XP Pro and Home and Longhorn. All in Two Computers. So I am experienced in this so if ya need help just drop a message my msn is on 24/7 so drop a message and I will get to ya.

    Why are there no good distributions of Linux for Macs? I have a MacBook with Mac OSX Tiger, Windows

    However, OpenSuSE works horribly on Mac. Is it completely Mac's proprietary fault, or is it
    just that most Linux users in their right minds would never pay for a Mac when they could build a
    Linux-friendly machine for pennies in comparison? I use a Mac for many reasons. First of all, I

    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
