I'm trying to use partition magic7 to partition my hdd that already has XP running on it. afterI apply changes if gives error:-938 too many errors cancelling process. Is it XP or the ver. of P Magic i'm running? help please.
 
Sounds like the version of PM. If you have 2 or 3 GB left, just use that with minium software installs for Linux.
 
I used PM 8 on my computers and it worked just fine, might wanna try upgrading.?

Good luck with Linux, btw, What distro are you installing?
 
Shan, I'm trying to inst. SUSE 8.2 but I have the latest Red Hat as well, what do you prefer & why?
 
I've bounced back from RedHat and Mandrake distros....I'm running RedHat 9 right now...i really like it, it's very stable and everything worked perfectly on install on both my desktop and laptop. I haven't tried SuSe yet, but maybe one day when i have some time on my hands i'll try SuSe. I don't know.

I prefer Mandrake, seems little faster... thats only reason though, i just hate how the distros don't keep the same directory scheme...
 
Im a HUGE Gentoo fan. The install is a bit complicated, but the instructions are good, and its screaming faster than all other distros, and cmpletely customized for my system.
 
Vince,

You got any Gentoo screenshots or anything?? I wanna load another linux version but I don't know....I'm debating what distro i wanna try :D
