I installed Mandrake 9.0 along side my Win XP install. If I recall correctly it will ask you to chose a partition that already exists or to create a new one. I purchased the CDs online from unixcd.com which I don't think is around any longer but there are a number of other low cost distributors around such as
cheapbytes.com and it looks like they have Mandrake 9.1 for $6.99. I am on dial up so downloading the ISO is out of the question unless I want to tie up the computer for a couple of days. I may be switching over to Linux completely (will still keep windows around to test things with IE) now that I have found a PHP development application that also has a WYSIWYG editor for HTML. The product is located here:
