BrandonRe:New Computer
what are the specs? Have you ever installed an OS before? Ever used Linux? Got AIM(Most of us do)?

Well, first of all, what does AIM have to do with installing Linux? Yes, I have installed an OS before, but I've never dual-booted Windows and Linux before. Could you help me, I don't want to completely break my system!

BrandonRe:New Computer
Run AIM on another PC so I can guide you through. Its quite simple really If you've ever installed an OS you can do it but If something goes wrong you want me on IM to help you. My AIM is: admin@brandoncornell.com .Whats the specs!

All you kids with your new super fast laptops. Your Processor is wrong though. Double check for me. I think I'm gonna have to get a Quad Core AMD at Christmas. It will put you guys all in the dust.

I double checked, it says its a Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz, and it's 32-bit. BTW: What's your screen name?

[quote]My AIM is: admin@brandoncornell.com[/quote] Well its won't thats a made up name. Theres a "Pentium Dual Core" or a "Core 2 Duo" both are 64bit. All Intel dual cores are 64bit!

agumaRe:New Computer
Oh sry the OS is 32-bit. Either that, or the label is wrong. :laugh:

Andrew, try GRUB. You can dual-boot Windows and Linux. I run Debian on my Celeron with Windows 98.
