Re: Dual boot Ubuntu + MCE, how?
Drew,
Very easy, simply download your prefered version of ubuntu and burn it to a cd. Then boot from the CD. You'll then have kind of a demo version of ubuntu running from the cd. There will be an icon on the desktop to install ubuntu on your machine. Double click that and follow your nose. The most critcal bit is to ensure you select the correct partitioning options. Select 'Guided - resize' then use the slider to tell it how much of your HDD you want ubuntu to use. 10 GB is plenty as ubuntu can access any files/data on you windows partition.
When your done the pc will now load 'Grub' when it boots, which will give you the option of loading windows or ubuntu.
If your thinking Myth, you may want to check out mythbuntu. It's a stripped down version of ubuntu with all the stuff you need for MythTV. It makes it very easy to set up.
Hope that helps,
Phil
