Heya guys, i just got myself a new pc and was wanting to know whats the best hard drive partition software, and whats the best version of linux, there is so many. I want to be able to dual boot between xp and linux.
Ok, for partitioning, you can go with Partition Magic 8. i heard its very good. And what kind of usage will you be doing with linux, it really depends on what ur gonna use it for. An all around desktop/XP replacement would be Lycoris. Its very user friendly and has an beautiful interface.
If you don't want to mess around with Live CDs or DVDs, but still want to try Linux out, give Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) a shot. It's the most newb-friendly distribution out there.
oh and as for linux, i would go with fedora core, mandriva(i don't like it), and if your looking for some gentoo and don't know how to configure it, go with Vida-linux. it's gentoo with a grafical installer.
but most of the time you got to try alot of distros to fing one that suits you the best
