Heres how to install Linux Mint 7 on a VirtualBox process is much the same, just burn ISO to cd and boot to it.

 Azn blenk64,
I have been using this for years and I can tell you it's great in fact after a while you will not know how to use Windows it's really that good every thing just works no spyware no blue screens no virus and not restrictions you have to understand it's not Windows and you will still need Windows for certain things but I would say only about 10% of the time good luck and if your not sure just run it from the live CD that way you can play with it and make no changes to the current O/S.

Take care



tmy




 Bye
