| Many Linux distributions have all the software you'll need to create a
| separate disk-drive partition for Linux without altering your Windows setup,
| assuming there's room on the hard drive. You can then run either operating
| system at startup. Back up your system first, if you plan to use this "dual
| boot" option. Alternately, replace Windows altogether on an older PC you're
| not using. Check hardware compatibility, particularly printers, scanners and
| network cards. This kind of test on your regular PC also will confirm
| compatibility with your potential netbook purchase.

Our guide to building your own online distro
,----[ Quote ]
| Wouldn't it be great if you could just click your way to a custom distro?
|
| After all, most of the packages you will need are sitting on a well-connected
| web server somewhere, so it makes sense to build ISO images and repositories
| directly on that server. And since that server has a HTTP interface, why not
| make the distro building software into a web application?
|
| This is the principle behind www.instalinux.com, created by Chris Slater.
| It's based on the SystemDesigner CGI scripts from the Linux Common Operating
| Environment project, originally developed as a tool for internal use at HP,
| and now released under the GNU GPL.

Order From Chaos: Choosing A Linux Distribution - PART 3

| The best thing you can do is to just do. Take what you have learned, download
| a few distros that piqued your interest and try them. Many of the major
| distros offer non-destructive means of trying them before you make the final
| decision.
