Hello

I would like to try out Linux to see what it's like

Have a P4 win XP pro system

Thought that I would install a third hard disk and install linx just on this
disk but if I install Linux on the third disk how do I decide which system
to boot up on ?

Or should I partion the C with XP and Linux ? this disc is a SATA setup
and which Linux should I try Mandrake ou Denian

Thank in advance for help in this matter

hi,
you should take a look at some HOWTO documents, which are also available
in french. take a look at http://www.freenix.fr/unix/linux/HOWTO/
especially the

French-HOWTO
Hardware-HOWTO
Installation-HOWTO
Kernel-HOWTO
Configuration-HOWTO
Win95+Win+Linux

should help.

Mandrake vs Debian?
well, hard to tell, depends on what you want.
i prefer debian.
take a look at:
