[BLU/Officers] Installing linux

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

Today,
Linux is much much easier to install. One choice is to choose you Linux
distribution. More recently, Fedora 17
<http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora>and Ubuntu
12.04.1 <http://www.ubuntu.com/download> seem to be popular. Depending on
your target you can burn a CD (either 32-bit or 64-bit) LiveCD, or with
Fedora, you can burn a DVD (either 32-bit or 64-bit). In both cases the
installer can shrink your Windows partition down so you can dual boot, or
you can install a virtual machine manager, such as Oracle's
VirtualBox<https://www.virtualbox.org/>.
VBox runs on either Windows or Linux and you can run Windows or Linux guest
machines.
