Well it's not really a question of whether or not I can 'dual-boot.' I already do that on my other machine with Windows XP / Red Hat 6.0. I was mainly wondering if there was a a way that I can boot into any Linux OS within my windows one. I've heard of this being done before and was a little curious about it. Sorry for not being as clear in my first post.

Also, if this is a possiblility then what would be the best OS do you think for the 'beginner.' I've worked with Red Hat a little bit but still somethings seem way over my head.

My main gripe is this, I want to run Linux software on my computer. I also want to learn a lot about it as well. However, I don't want to go through the hassle of rebooting my computer everytime I want to switch to an application or OS. If there is a way to accompish this then please, I would appreciate anyones help.

Thanks again!
