    XP Home Ubuntu Dual Boot

     
    I have an old computer with XP home and two 80 GB HD with XP on one nothing on the other one.

    I would like to instal ubuntu and create a dual boot system. What is the reccomended boot manager?

    Is there a good tutorial online?

    I have a sudden urge to post a "Let Me Google That For You" link.

    Really running a dual boot with Ubuntu and XP is pretty easy. Grab the latest version of Ubuntu, load it up and use the grub boot manager. When you install it it should read the XP install automatically and do all the work for you.
