...dual boot a small area of the hard drive with Linux Ubuntu, Mint, or some other friendly distribution and call it a day. It is easy and free. If all you want is safer browsing, and e-mail Linux will give it to you and not cost you anything, but time to setup. I setup my Linux system (fedora 14, the one I am typing on now) in about 35 minutes and it connected to the net immediately, and i had e-mail in about 5 more minutes. Keep it simple and it is not difficult. I got to tell you, i can't believe just how easy this computer is to use and how trouble free it is. A year so far and nothing to fuss about, no real issues. The best part is I am able to use an older system and it acts young and fast again...





Good idea!

One trick we can learn from Apple is their choice of hardware when building on an Intel platform. Duplicate these components when selecting your Linux/Windows computer, and you get some very solid hardware that is good with Windows and optimum for Linux (Apple hardware combinations are selected for maximum performance with a Unix system - Mac and Linux).


just looking for clues...
