Hi! Shilpa, You can do one thing so that you can learn about other technologies also.
If you are not comfortable with partitioning (rather re partitioning without damaging your existing data), I suggest 1. You download MS Virtual PC (Free for a change from MS) 2. Get a hold of some Linux ISO image and copy it completely as an ISO image to your d: or e: drive (may be you can use Nero software to make a copy of existing Linux Software as an ISO image on to your hard drive.) 3. Start MS Virtual PC and create a new environment and show where is your iso image. 4. This is very easy as Virtual PC guides you also, I have been using close to 6 Linux distros like that on my Notebook which is a Celeron 1.4GHz and loaded with XP (Office given and I cannot repartition also because of office restrictions) I am quite happy to use the above setup. Just to give you an idea, may be u can try puppy linux which is very small for downloading and playing. You can try downloading as an image and start in Virtual PC Please do let us know your experiences. Hope you will learn fast and guide somebody. Regards and all the best.
