Phil/Charles Partition Magic comes with most linux distros... it will handle (for instance) re-partitioning an existing drive and perserving the contents. 1)Having said that, it is still very important to back up existing data of importance. 2)It is good to review the installation process ahead of time. 3)Many areas have Linux user groups. They often constitute a community of mutual help. It is likely (and perhaps recommended) that you will find someone to help and advise you. I must also caution, that even tho' I am a strong supporter of linux and I much prefer this as a working environment, that there can be a steep learning curve attached. Again, a users group and appropriate mailing lists can be very helpful. Just as this mailing list is wonderful in learning rebol, there are many mailinng lists that are wonderful for learning linux and it's components. But I will repeat that it is important to back up data, review the installation process first and not be too proud to ask for help. tj
