Hello all. I used to work with a guy who raved about linux and I know it is used for servers and I am sure many many many other things. I have been meaning to check it out for oh......8 years lol.
So here is the start of my probing into your great minds.
First off my PC:
HP Laptop
Vista Home Premium 32bit
Intel Core 2 Duo: T7500 2.20 GHZ
2 gigs of ram (tried 4 was too much and caused random BSOD)
2 x 150gb HD (NTSF as of now)
My Questions
I want to set Linux in a partition on the second hard drive which I use right now for all my storage.
First how should I go about partitioning that hard drive and before I do I am going to move all the files to the first HD for now. Basically what program should I use or can I just partition it with vista?
Second I plan on partitioning that into 2 maybe 3 partitions. How big should I make the partition for Linux?
I think that is really it for now that should get me going.
Thanks a bunch for the help to come with this Noob!

Answered this myself....easily done within Vista....one plus side to Vista lol
