In the little I could find on this that was often
recommended, setting up a PC with dual boot, so you
could try Linux. You have to remember I am real
amateur at all things PC and it scares hell out of me
to start trying to do this with a new one. If the disk
will walk even someone like me through it, it sounds
like it would be great. The thing that scares me is
last year I set up a new Vista machine for a co
worker. It showed me I wanted nothing to do with
Vista. Then I heard MS was dropping XP, so I ordered a
new desktop, and 2 new laptops in XP from Dell,
figuring my wife and I would be set for a while till
hopefully MS found a replacement for Vista. Then the
fun started. Had trouble with the desk top and found
that Dells idea of support is someone who can’t speak
English, and acts like they have never seen a
computer. All 3 computers have small things that are
not right, but I gave up trying to get help from Dell
and live with it. This is why it scares me to do
something and get to where I need help since I know
Dell is worthless. Where do you buy the disk that will
walk me through trying a dual boot set up. I will take
a shot at it on the desktop first, if I can do it
without screwing things up, will try my laptop.
