Is it possible to settup linux under a windows environment on the same machine without formatting. I have an extra 2.5 gigabytes on D drive. I do not know the fundamentals of linux at this stage, but I do wish to learn linux. I nearly underastand the full implications of the windows environment, but who really can understand windows fully. I wish to learn linux. Without undoing all the hard work I have put into this terminal, is there a way of setting linux up without stuffing around with C: drive? I mainly use the windows environment for video manipulation, graphic animations and similar stuff. I have been using wingate for a good period of time now, and have found some limitations on the client machine. I have read some of the linux networking capabilities and I think that would be a better environment to be under. I know I will be getting a few awful remarks about living under a windows environment, as this is the response I have always had from linux users. I have played with linux and had it pretty well understandable, but 2 things restricted me from running fully under linux. The first was the network card would not settup, and 2nd I could not a browser to work. But these are only limitations of the learning process, I understand. So I would really appreciate a civilised answer, so that I could have a easier way of setting up linux on a separate drive on this computer so I can still do the things that I need to do, and at the same time learn more about linux. Much appreciated
