The best way I have found to run Linux is to set up a seperate partition for
Linux.
I have an actually seperate hard drive for my system files.  The drive that you
install this to needs to be partition free.  The reason for this is you need to
repartition it using the software specifically designes for Linux.
The easiest way that I have found to get Linux installed and running is by using
the Caldera Open Linuex 2.0 software package.  I picked it up at a local
bookstore.
It has documentation, bootdiscs, and the LINUX OS included with it.
I had my system up and running in about one hour.
