I'm not familiar with linux at all, and didn't like it, but I want to learn.
I have a lot of them. So lets start with booting:


I've done a linux dual boot setup before.

It went into a different O.S. selection screen, probably linux related.

I have XP, is there a way I can use the microsoft boot screen?

How does booting into linux work?
I know my windows stuff, boot config NTLDR and all that, but not linux.
