    Dual Booting Vista and Fedora

    I am a noob and very nervous.

    I want to install fedora onto my vista running comp.

    I am reading through this documentation Fedora Project, sponsored by Red Hat.

    I beleve I will have to install grub?

    Is this good idea?

    How hard will it be to get vista running?

    How hard is it to configure grub?

    When you go to install Fedora, you will be given the opportunity to install GRUB. If you don't install GRUB, you won't have any way to get into Fedora. If you do install GRUB, you should have the option in the GRUB menu to boot Fedora, or Windows.

    install ubuntu or kubuntu instead krazy, it's a bit easier for the new linux user to handle, not to mention greater community support.

    Ubuntu/Kubuntu will also give you the opportunity to install GRUB.
