It may seem like a stupid question, but for someone who is completely new to the concept of Linux, it isn't. So, please bear with me! Does Linux come with a fee, or is it completely free to use?
100% free.
You can try out the different "flavors" of it, all free. Some of the big ones are Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

Great. I was wondering if it is something I needed to buy when I switch to "Dual booth".
I heard somewhere that there are some paid distros out there but I don't know exacly which ones are. Linux kernel is completely free and open source, you can develop your own distro if you have the knowledge. Some distros that you should start with: Ubuntu, Mint.
RedHat, Xandros (a new one on me), elive and Zorin all want money one way or another.I heard somewhere that there are some paid distros out there but I don't know exacly which ones are. . . .t.
Woo! Thank you for all the responses. I will have to give Linux a try, now that I know it is free! FREE, is one of my favorite words. It's like music to my ears. I am off to download Linux now.
Start with a small distro like Puppy Linux. Just a bit over 120Mb. And works from a pendrive. Not necessary to install into the hard drive at all.
