Re: [ilugd] New to Linux
If you want to keep both the os, better first install windows and leave some space unpartitioned. Later, you can go ahead and install the Linux on it. As a beginner you can try Ubuntu. Also you can try suse. Although have never used it personally but have heard a lot about it. May be the senior members of the forum will be able to give you more incite on it. Welcome to the club!!
