HI ALL,
I am thinking of installing ubuntu 9.04 as a dual boot with my XP Home
I have just bought the NEW UBUNTU USER Magazine with the 9.04 free disk

I do have Ubuntu 8 on a spare PC but i have to unplug this monitor to use it on the spare
i was thinking of a dual boot with SUSE 11, till i say the new mag.

Also am i able to UN INSTALL UBUNTO and return the PC back to how it was.

One other question

Is it possable to Install Ubuntu 64 bit as a dual boot with my 32 bit XP Home ?????

thanks for reading this

Yes, as long as your computer is capable of running 64-bit software. The two different operating systems will run independently of one another, so it shouldn't matter if one is 32-bit and the other 64-bit.
