Hi,  I am totally new to the Linux OS.  I have an HP Pavilion Dv4 Laptop that 
has windows 7 on it.  I really do not like Windows.  I hear that Linux is 
supposed to be a good OS.  I do not know where to start.   I want Linux. I 
would probably go with Mint since it runs so good with the Sun virtual box.  I 
need to keep windows.  CANNOT risk ANY data loss.  I know there is a way to 
partition the Hard Drive to Run both OS but do not know how to do it and it 
sounds a little risky.  Also...  I am aware that the Broadcam wireless adapter 
that is built in to my laptop might not work.  This is a big drawback.  Is 
there a solution for this?  If not then I have a linksys wireless usb thing 
that plugs into the computer that might work.  But I'd rather have the one that 
is built in.   I need a lot of description!  I have NEVER used Linux ever!  I 
hope that there is a Linux genius out there that can help me.
