RE: where can I get information about dual booting using Grub

[Treutwein Bernhard]

it depend on the Linux distibution, but those
which use Grub, normally install Linux with an
option to use dual booting. I suspect that
Dell also has some kind of service partition,
but this shouldn't pose a problem either ...
