This may seem like an odd request for most users but i need to install my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A350-20S) with a quad boot system running Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, XP & Vista/Win7...i am a newbie at linux btw...i am assuming thst it will be similar to a dual boot but is it easy to do with ubuntu installed first?
This is how i intend to use the machine:
1) Ubuntu - Jaunty (Currently installed) - General use and learning linux
2) Ubuntu Studio - Music/Video production & editing only
3) XP - External hardware so far only compatable with this os so needed (original cd owned)
4) Vista/Win7 - Vista install to be updated to Win7 on release (original cd's owned), trial external hardware's
I would really like to keep both linux and windows os running due to various different tasks i carry out, i need to learn the linux way before becoming reliant on it.
any help appreciated :P
