My buddies over on VIA Arena just published this article detailing 'how to' create a Linux / Vista Dual Boot PC. Having more than one operating system on your PC may not be as popular as having more than kind of cheese on your pizza, but it does have its bonuses.
For those of us who wish to experiment with Linux without being stranded in a windowless world, a dual boot setup is the perfect solution. You simply start up your machine and the first screen you see after POST is a menu asking you to decide which operating system you want to boot to. Windows or Linux. But how is it done? Can mere mortals achieve such decadence? Sure. Let Robert Biondini take you by the hand and enlighten you in the ways of dual boot voodoo.
This guide is based on a VIA pc3500 system, the same one that Fiona used in her sub-60-watt video a wee while back. It's based on a VIA 1.5GHz CPU and is without doubt one of the most power-efficient PC platforms on the market. The chosen Linux distribution is Ubuntu, probably the coolest and most popular distro around. Paired with Windows Vista, this article shows you how to install both operating systems on the same PC so you can enjoy the best of both worlds on the same energy-efficient PC. Wow. Some people get all the fun.
