My favorite distribution is Vector Linux. It's a no bloat version that recently scored a 9/10 by MadPenguin. You can find them at http://www.vectorlinux.com/ and the installer allows (as most do) allows for dual boot. And in the best part about this distro is that they have one of the most active user/developer forums I know of.
I am fairly new to Linux. I want to partition my HD keeping XP in one partition and Linux in the other. I am doing this for a particular class I am taking. I am not sure what the most recent version is, so if you could provide me with this and a download site I would really appreciate that. I understand that I can download it for free. Not sure though; so correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks!
