Jenno:
Kirbo,

Before you install, check that your hardware is supported. Laptops are notoriously difficult to run Linux on due to all the proprietary nastiness present in most of them.

a little too late aren't you? now my DELL Inspiron is now redundant.

M3gaBigh:
Yeah, What Jenno said. Setting up a dual boot is dificult to start with, using a laptop makes it a bit harder. That being said Linux is getting better and better all the time to support new hardware. A word of advice from personal experiance, Windows XP is fussier than Linux in terms of getting it all working together. Just read all the guides and you should be fine.

Kirbo:
Good advice, I'm failry sure that my lappy runs Ubuntu fine.

I won't be able to test until this weekend, because if I do fuck things up, I'll need a day to get it all working again before work starts.

M3gaBigh:
if your partition gets corrupted you can easily format it and start over. So on that note another word of advice: back everything up, it's easier to actualy start off from a blank HDD anyway.
