Yep, download it form one of their official sites onto a CD-R or a CD-RW, install it into a formatted HDD and it should boot up and you’ll get some menus you can navigate through to setup everything.

I’ve never heard of that. So I’m sure, just use the way I stated as Linux is free.

Can’t you have multiple OS’s on a single HDD? Just partition the HDD and I *Think* you can.

Kinda like how you do it with the PS3. The HDD is split, surely you can do that with a comp.
