2nd Linux OS

[ejh333]

Hello,

I am a new convert from ms windows to linux.I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop and I just love it! What took me so long to see the light? I honestly enjoy the Linux experience and wish I dumped windows a while ago.
Anyway, I would like to install a 2nd Linux such as Fedora or Suse, actually, I would like both to be honest.
My question is this:
1) How do I do it?

I read somewhere about grub and such, but it is more than what I know or what to do. Partitions?
I'm sure there are some things I manually have to enter/adjust, but I am soooo new with linux.
I need some simple instruction, easy to follow, baby steps stuff

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi,

i'm new to Ubuntu too (9.04)

I love it!

I have my hard disk partitioned so that it is ready to accommodate another 2 OSs, but what i actually enjoy is using virtualBox as a virtualization tool to run other operating systems.

give it a try.

IMO its the simplest way to try out other linux distros, but without the hardware fuss...

I second the virtual box. I use that as well and love for testing purposes, as well as for running other operating systems(such as XP Pro) on top of my Ubuntu. The only thing I don't like about VB is that there doesn't seem to be a way to delete virtual machines once you take a snapshot...

I dual boot and use virtual and I much prefer dual booting but, virtual is a good first step
