.MeLo♥ Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 What are the benefits of having dual boot or linux?what exactly does it do for you?
Decatur Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Its just the freedom of having another OS IMO. I just get bored of Windows and I use Linux when browsing the internet because nobody makes virus's for that OS.
.MeLo♥ Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Posted December 13, 2008 So linux is just an OS like mac or windows? And if you got linux would it erase everything from your computer? I want to get a new os , the windows penguin s***

I want to get a new os , the windows penguin s*** It depends if you Dualboot, you can have 2 OS's, you just need a not shitty HDD. Or you could just delete your current partition and replace with a new one w/ a new OS. What Linux do you want? Redhat? SUSE? Ubuntu? I use Ubuntu and I like it but Peaches prefers SUSE.
.MeLo♥ Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Posted December 13, 2008 I want suse but i want to still have all my things on my hd there:/
Decatur Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 Download this. http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=sDXgx7pyw0Q~ Burn to iso. Boot on startup. Suse ^ Ask someone else for dualbooting, I just delete everything off of a PC. Or you could back it up.
iBotPeaches Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 How big is your HD? Dual booting requires a 3rd party BIOS add-on that you can just switch on turn on, weather you would like Windows or SUSE. However, messing with these things could wreck your hard-drive. If your not careful.
.MeLo♥ Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Posted December 13, 2008 Thanks And for backing it up, you mean onto a portable HD? Ill just search some tuts for dual booting
