You obviously have multiple options. As I said, I use VMware Player on
both Windows and Linux. I use it because it's accessible with Orca. It's
free from VMware. If you want to run Linux in a virtual machine under
Windows, all you need is VMware Player and an ISO to the distro of Linux
you want to run. You could also use Virtual Box or Virtual PC, but as I
said, I use VMware Player.
If you want to set up your system to dual boot, all you need is Linux on
a CD or USB stick. I'm used to Ubuntu, so all you need to do is boot
from a Vinux or Ubuntu CD, hit control+s if you're using Ubuntu after
you hear the drums and then walk through the set up. Ubuntu will
partition your hard drive and set up grub so you can boot in either
Windows or Ubuntu. I assume other distros will let you do the same.

So, what are my real options for putting Windows and Linux on one box?
I've already got Windows on the box. What software would I install to
then run Linux in a virtual environment? What software would I use to
partition the existing disk and then set up for dual boot? Remembering
that I am starting with a system with Windows already on it.
Thanks.
