Hi, I have a very strange experience.
I was thinking of installing Linux as a second OS on my system with windows XP. You know this as evidenced by my correspondence. You have suggested use of Fedora. I have a DVD with Fedora received along with LFY magazine. Meanwhile I have also received UBUNTU from UBUNTU org in response to my request while I was in USA. Since I am doing some video processing and have large number of clips for this project on my system I wanted to complete this and then venture installing Linux. So I have not even opened the UBUNTU DVD package. Since 4 days whenever I switch on my system , I am getting a message whether I want to boot XP or UBUNTU. This is scary as I have not installed any Linux. I did not opt for Linux booting yet for fear whether I may lose my present video data. Is it possible for some one to hack into my system and install UBUNTU? I know I was online for long hours on a particular day? Windows XP does not show any other partition beyond what I created for it. Any explanation? Any way of checking from XP as to whether UBUNTU is really there? V. C. Mohan
