I have used Linux a few years ago, Mint Isadora, I think. I put it on an old computer and was getting to know it when the motherboard blew. That was the end of Linux for me until now.
A work computer had a hard drive issue and we replaced the whole computer because of a time issue. We had all the files we needed backed-up so the replacement went smoothly. The old computer, turns out, had a hard drive failure. I have purchased a new hard drive and want to install it into the old desktop box. To be able to use it as an office computer I need to have UPS capability and the brains at UPS says that their software is not compatible with Linux. Look like I need to have windows in there somewhere.
Here's what I want to do: Install Linux Mint and maybe some other version of Linux and if I can, get Windows free somehow, and also install that along side of the Linux installs, with the option to use whichever OS I choose to use that day.
