Hello,

Yes, you can run Ubuntu on a dual boot configuration with your Vista. It is pretty easy, and cost effective since Linux is free of course.

Follow this step by step guide and it will show you exactly how to dual boot Ubunuto and Vista together.

OK. thanks. this I realised would be acceptable as many Brits here are doing just that. My point is that I will be using this system in SPAIN. On a Spanish dedicated Spanish written programme. By bringing on an English language programme with Ubuntu will I be able to run both programmes side by side?

Accepted Answer

If your talking about dual booting Windows Vista spanish and an English Ubuntu, you should not have any problems.
