Specifically, I want to try ubuntu on my macbook pro and have heard that I can use a live cd to do so. However all the tutorials I have found are very out of date. How do I do this? Or if I did want to dual boot, how would I? I mostly want to experiment with Linux and am very intrigued by ubuntu and want to give berryl a try. What can I do?

Series of videos that walk you through what Linux is, how to get it, try it out in Live CD mode, install it as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, and how to use it, including how to set up the most common applications such as email and instant messaging. The benefit of this demonstration video is that it is a real world recording that takes you through all the steps, so you can later follow along to try out Linux yourself as a Live CD. If you decide you want to install Linux as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, (meaning when your computer starts, you are presented with a menu choice to run Linux or Windows) you are shown how to install Linux. Linux was installed for free using the steps performed in this video. Linux is all about choice, and the best way to decide if Linux is right for you, is to try it out. site: tomlinux.ca
i upgraded to windows 7 about a year ago and i like it a lot.much better than crap vista.but i have been playing around with some linux live cds of late.i tried ubuntu and passed on that.tried fedora 12 and liked very much.but my favorite linux distro i have looked at is pclinuxos 2010 .it blew me away.if it wasn’t for windows 7 i would dump windows all together and go pure linux.my problem is i like windows 7 and pclinuxos a lot.what little i find on the net says windows 7 and pclinuxos 2010 don’t get along.can i dual boot 7 and pclinuxos 2010 or do i have to make a choice.would love to have them both.thanks to anyone who can give me a straight answer.

I want to dual boot the full version of Linux, Fedora… with Windows 7 which is already installed, the problem is it comes with the GRUB loader, and that’s a problem because the last time I did that with Ubuntu, I was very unsatisfied with that installation of Ubuntu, and it was better from a live cd. I booted back into Windows and deleted the partition of Ubuntu, and didn’t touch the GRUB loader and the system crashed. I re-installed ubuntu but then windows didn’t work at all.
Now I wanna try Fedora and I tried it from a live USB (another install of ubuntu worked except flash player)… I wanna use Fedora but I don’t want to deal with all the GRUB krud again, the NT boot loader is better in my opinion…
I’ve been trying to get Fedora Linux onto my Vista laptop where I can dual boot and I can’t seem to get it. I made a partition already that is 50GB and booted up into Linux with a Live CD. I went to the desktop and opened the install to HD option and got up to the part where you chose how to install it onto there, etc. I would like to dual boot and use that 50GB as a Linux OS. How do I do this?
