Hi.
I have installed the Ubunto 11.X in this same machine, is that what you are saying to do?
I haven't understanding that way in the beginning.

Thanks

Unless you're using something like virtualbox then no, that's not what I mean.

I certainly wouldn't have suggested installing Ubuntu to learn UNIX. It's very GUI-heavy and has lots of autoconfiguration that does everything for you whether you like it or not. You could use it for years and not learn a thing about how it's actually working.

Ok.
I must install that software VirtualPC and then go to Puppy Linux News download a live linux cd and run it by Virtual PC, right?


Thanks

You don't need VirtualPC just to boot a linux livecd. They boot on your computer without installing anything, like was mentioned in the last page.

If you wanted to actually install Linux on your computer, you could safely do so within VirtualPC (or virtualbox or vmware ).
