Hi everyone

Hi
I was introduced (read: forced to use) to Linux Mint 2008 and have been using it on my old computer ever since.
A friend of mine installed it beacuse he thought it was high time for me to start using "a proper" OS.
I have recently bought myself a new computer with W7 home edition pre-installed and I am thinking of dual boot it with Mint.
So I better start reading in here, to see if i can find out how to do it

Hi horze, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for joining the forums! I'm sure you can get the help you need here

Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon (and check out the Cinnamon Extras package, which will install a lot of these for your automatically). If you haven't installed Cinnamon, see here the most recent update for a teaser.

You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users.

Welcome to Linux Mint! Once you start dual-booting, you may find you rarely use Windows 7 anymore.
