I appreciate the input! Just a couple more questions...
I truely appreciate the input. It is great to know that there are places on the internet that will provide info without spam or porn or anything like that. Just a couple more questions
Will Partition Magic do a duel boot with WIN98 and some sort of Unix/Linux operating system?
What type of partition does Unix/Liniux require?
How stable is this partition? (In comparison to FAT32)
Say I decided to partition and hook up Unix. I believe that I read somewhere, that if I make partitions that are 4 gig (might have been 8 gig) or less, that I will save space because of this FAT32 partition?
Am I loosing space on 1 partition with a FAT32 partition with a 15 gig HD?
I heard that if I duel boot, I have to have the OS's on the first 4 gig of the HD. Is there a way to do this without formatting?
Where can I find a document with the major differences between all Unix's and Linux's?
How many dif. Unix/Linux's are there?
How do I make a decision on which OS to go with?
Will I have any problems with a Pentium III processor?
Will I be able to use AOL v.6.0.?
I thank you in advance for your generosity!
