Unix

[opivykid]

Ok, at the moment, I'm sick, with nothing to do, so to kill bordem, I'm thinking of looking at other OS's besides Windows, so I thought I'd try unix out. My question is that the only "working" computer that I have (this one), runs XP, so how could I go about checking unix out, and still keep XP? Also, would I need anything special to run it, or am I good how I am?

Your better off getting a live cd so you wont have to install it.
