Topic: Windows and SME dual-boot?

[Clint]

I was linked to this software by a friend, and it looks excilent, everything I was looking for in a Linux distro.

Now, my server is already running Windows 2000, quite happily I might add, and I don't want to erase it quite yet (until I am sure that SME is for me). Will installing SME server wipe off all my partitions/format my data, or does it live happily with other Operating Systems?

Thanks!

It will wipe ALL hard drives clean on install.  Get yourself a nice, small, cheap 2 Gig drive and start playing from there.

Ok, thanks. I just didn't want to lose all my data

You might want to use VMWare under Windows to test run sme.
