I know this isn't Vanagon content, but its how we commuicate with each
other regards vanagons so I feel it's important..

I have been hearing more and more aobut Linux, and also alternative
Browsers and E-mail programs to the Microsoft products. I just
downloaded Mozilla. and I am searching out an alternative e-ail program.

Question: If I have XP as my operating system, can I also have Linux
installed on the same computer to run as an alternate when I want to????
All on the same hard drive???

I do have two separate hard drives. Can I have one system on one, and an
alternate system on the other?

How would/can I soft - switch between them, either on the same driver or
on the separate drives.

Rely off list is ok, but I bet many members would like to know about this.

Thanks,
