Ok ive been reading about different distros of OSX86 for sometime now but im still afraid to try it out incase i mess up my computer which my family uses.

But i think il get the courage to try duel boot Windows XP and a distro over the summer. Can someone recomend a distro for my Dell Dimension 9100. I was thinking of getting Kalyway 10.5.2.

My specs are

Specification Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
Instructions : MMX, SSE, SS32, SSE3, EM64T

Motherboard

I REALLY hope someone can help me out.

Btw what is the easiest way to duel boot it ? I was thinking of using Acronis disk director suite as a saw a tutorial on youtube which used this and it seemed quite easy

Thanks guys
