Running Linux and Windows on same PC

[NicAuf]

As of latem I've been wanting to try another OS. I've been looking at Linux, and I was wondering if you can run both Linux and Windows on the same PC? If you can is it easy?

 

[SilentSinz]

yeah you can, you just need to a)two hard drives in your computer or b) lots of memory, and you would split your hard drive 50/50 or 60/40 for the program....had both running at once on my system but didnt understand linux enough o keep it!

you can run both on one hard drive if you partition it. I don't reccomend it through.

yea, if you partition it you have to reformat and lose all of your data. A second hard drive is easier and with the prices for HD's these days its better just to go ahead and use 2 seperate.

I honestly don't know much about Linux, but I do know it's not favored and it is kinda the odd man out. I guess that's why he looks so... odd?

linux is an open source operating system. It is used a lot to host servers and high powered applications. Not to mention you can get most versions for free.
