Dual Boot Vista & Ubuntu
Monday 8th Oct 2007 - Posted By: Ste Riley at 10:11PM
Well I'm about to take the plunge into installing Ubuntu (Linux) onto my laptop and get it to dual boot with Vista. Probably end up destroying the thing, but we'll see.
Anyway, this is the tutorial I'm following.
Update: I had problems with getting Ubuntu detecting the Vista partition on my Dell Inspiron 6400, it seems this problem occurs quite a bit. However I've now come across this post that will hopefully help.
Update 2: I went with the install and it worked beautifully! So I now have a dual booting Vista + Ubuntu setup. I quickly started to miss the MS fonts on the system though, but I soon found a quick fix for that too. Along with a list of free killer apps!
