chris_agu28 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well yeah I am getting back in to linux, How many people use it on this forum? Here is my situation as well. I used to run linux (Red hat 9) and windows xp a couple years back. but something happened to the boot loader for linux and I decided to give up linux. But now I am thinking about trying it again with linux and windows xp. I am just having trouble picking a distro. I been leaning towards the Ubuntu linux. Another thing I am having trouble with is my partition set up. All three of my Hdd's are on NTFS setup and I know linux won't run on that and I can't partion some space off unless somebody knows how too. I had this problem with my first linux setup and I just reformated and installed everything on a FAT32 setup. Any light any body wannts to shed on my situation? I hope things have changed cause I would love to dual boot and start using linux once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Linux should have no problem reading an NTFS file system. I recommend Kubuntu which is the same as Ubuntu, but with KDE instead of GNOME. I didn't like the GNOME interface, and couldn't get the wireless internet working in Ubuntu. KDE looks more like Windows. I say download and burn a distro, then insert the CD within Windows. Everything else should be gravy then. It will only support a partition of up to 30 Gigs this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
