Hi, Any computer (really) A-N-Y computer) can run Linux, or better, Linux does not need massive resources to run. Example? I installed a print server on my LAN: P3/320Mb/10Gb/Lan, annother example? A web server P3/254Mb/40Gb/Lan. Linux can run on Macbooks or plains, no sweat. Interested? Read a review before you get Linux, helps you choose: http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/overview-of-the-ten-major-linux-distributions_92.html I used Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and Arch. For a starter like you? Use Ubuntu,( http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download ) helpfull and easy goin'. Have a lite/older PC? Use puppy Linux (get it on http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm ) Stuck? The Linux community helps, on www.linuxquestions.org - hey, maybe I can even answer some questions! Wellness! Thor

You won't be able to do that. Essentially XP won't run on a Mac as the primary boot operating system. An excellent way around your problem is to use a Virtual PC. This is software than emulates a PC and can be run on a Mac. It creates it's own virtual hard disk which is isolated from your Mac system. Sun and others make this software free for the Mac. This way you can have XP running in Window with all your other Mac stuff running too.

I'm not sure but I believe you will have to create a windows partition on your main system drive in order to have teh dual boot feature. But I could be wrong. Most macs will boot even without a system drive at all and only an external drive.

You really wouldn't want to run an operating system from an external hard drive because it would be sloooowwww. You can dual-boot, however, and there are tons of software options and online training videos online on how to do this. Bootcamp is a popular dual-boot tool, for example. Just remember to put some antivirus on your windows partition--mac hardware doesn't make windows immune!

I'm looking for software that's just like the one on Apple laptops to make funny looking pics with the web cam. If anyone has been to an Apple store they know what I'm taking about. I'm looking to see if there is something like that for windows to use with my webcam. Thank you.
