Re: Linux distributions. .
It is the simplest way to play around with operating systems. It is not difficult. It is just like installing a piece of software on windows. Just follow the on screen instructions. No need to make any decisions. In this case, Linux OS is the software that runs on another piece of software(Vmware player) that pretends to be a piece of hardware and runs on your Windows os. Give it a try. I have ubuntu, fedora, windows xp running on my windows 7. At one point i even had a old mac os too. You can have multiple os running at the same time. You can even set up file sharing, and also copy paste from some os to another. And if something goes wrong with the os you can just delete it like a file or restore a older saved version.
