Hello all...
I've wondered...should I get lunix or not...Hmmmmm...
Anyway, what do I have to do to have lunix on my computer, and keep windows there? It should be a screen that is like the OS choises menu, right? It's all pretty self-explanetory.
Thanks, all!

use a live cd
Google VMware.

A live disk is a CD that you can boot up that has the entire linux operating system compressed on one CD. You can run applications from such a CD (albeit at a slower rate), but at the same time leave everything you have on your hard drive completely untouched. It's basically a way to test linux os out.
Knoppix is the easiest Live CD distro of Linux I've come to use. You might want to download the disk image for that, or download the Ubuntu Live CD disk image. You just have to burn the image with a good burning application.
If you want to install Linux but keep Windows, this process is called Dual-Booting. There are loads of tutorials on this, this one being one of them. If you feel that's not sufficient for a tutorial or if it's too complicated, just search for "dual booting linux and windows xp."
Keep in mind that while Linux is known to run really well on a lot of computers, there are a few problems you may encounter. If you have an Intel graphics chip, which I happen to have, the latest linux distributions seem to have a version of X windows that makes the screen resolution really low for those cards (you know, resolutions of 640 by 480, etc.). There are fixes for this, but atm, I can't find one that works. There may also be some problems connecting to the internet if you have a wireless card that only has a windows driver. (If this is the case, go here. )Everything else worked fine on my computer though.
I hope that helps.
Okay I'm getting this...
So I just can boot from the Live CD, and have Lunix? That tutorial says it's a little slow (depending on the drive), though.
I'll take a look at this. I'm on my Wii right now, however, and all my CD-RWs are bad...well not all...
EDIT: And VMWare...I don't get it.
If you are new to this stuff, start with Ubuntu: has live CD, free CD shipping (http:shipit.ubuntu.com), and creates a bootloader(GRUB) automatically if it detects that you have other OSses.
