<p>Thanks guys for all the info!</p>
<p>I’ve chosen to do virtual because I don’t want to split my hard drive into multiple partitions. So far, I’ve downloaded Windows 7 Pro RTM from MSDNAA and installed it on Virtual PC 2007, and I’m trying to do the same for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (which I got from my dad, who’s an engineer), but Virtual Machine keeps crashing when it tries to install Red Hat, so I’ve given up this weekend and I’ll be waiting until next weekend, hopefully when I have more time. If not I’ll just wait until Fall Break because this isn’t as important as some other things.</p>
<p>I’m choosing Red Hat over Ubuntu because Red Hat is the Linux OS of choice here at Michigan. But since I have so much hard drive space (320GB total) I guess I can add on Ubuntu just to see how it’s like, especially if it’s free.</p>
