Overview:

Someone new to Linux-based operating systems, coming from the world of Microsoft Windows, might want to ease himself into using Linux rather than quitting Windows cold turkey. In those cases where multiple systems or virtual machine environments for multiple operating systems isn't appropriate, the option of installing a Linux-based OS on the same machine as a Microsoft Windows install is the best answer.
