there's is something called dual booting linux, which is basically partitioning your harddrive into to drives and installing linux on one and keeping windows on the other.

If you're interested in linux, you should really be somewhat familiar with computer basics such as knowing how to set your BIOS to boot off the cd.

This is a guide to dual boot ubuntu linux with xp: http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/~mjmille2/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/

also, not that linux heavily uses the command line.. so all that coded stuff, you'll have to learn. If you're not up for it, I would not recommend linux.

also, i noticed i had a few typos that kinda made my previous post hard to read. I can't edit it anymore.

"your harddrive into two drives."

"also, note that linux heavily uses the command line"

ya... i would probably um.. not install linux at the moment if i were you. No offense but definitely be A LOT more familiar with computers if you want to learn how to run linux.

toshiba laptop is a computer brand which is essentially a PC (aka Personal Computer)
