Giving Linux a spin
Can Ubuntu be installed on a seperate partition or booted from a USB external hard drive. I want to try out linux, but i am going with Knoppix first I think. Heres my hardware:

From the Ubuntu installer, I think you can create a partition for it in there.
__________________Linux uses a non-Windows fileformat, EX3 (I think it's that .. something like that). It can be booted from a USB hard drive as long as you set the Primary Boot up to do so.

Been a while since I've tried Linux but I recall it supports NTFS too!

NTFS can be read from just fine. Write support is a little scetchier.. FAT partitions work flawlessley. So does READING ntfs. To install, you should use a linux filesystem like ext3 or reiserFS. BTW- You DON'T have to defragment linux filesystems.
__________________Yes you CAN write to NTFS in some distros- it is still experimental tho, and I would stay FAR FAR away....
