    dual booting question

    A friend of mine gave me an old HP today. I tried loading up Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem too happy with me. I think it was too heavy to load. So I figure I'm just going to try out a bunch of stuff on it.

    Can I dual boot Puppy Linux with Apple Darwin, or FreeBSD? Or even ReactOS?

    And per request of the wife, the dancing banana!

    You can dual/triple/quad boot anything, provided you know what you are doing. If you need any help, I'm sure there is someone who can help you.
    Do let us know how it goes.
    PS. I love dancing banana's too!

    If you're a new linux user you might want to try out xubuntu, it's a much lighter Ubuntu/Debian based distro and is just as easy to use
    Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17
