hi there,

firstly if you have any valuable data you are mad not backing it up. you'll regret this when it all goes.

the easiest way to start using linux is to get a second hard disk and install it to that. use it, learn it, then after a month or so take emense pleasure in removing the windows partition  

insomnia:
You don't have to take any risk.

*Make a backup and mail(or...) it to a friend.
*Use Partition Magic (free demo: http://www.tucows.com/preview/222189.html )
resize your c: drive (be sure you have enough free space to do this...and you allways have your backup  ;)
*install linux on the "free space"

edisav:
Better yet, download Knoppix at www.knoppix.net. This will give you a full GUI-enabled Linux version that you don't need to install at all.

You just boot the PC with the CD and Knoppix will load into memory; to go back to winblows you just reboot your PC without the CD, that's it! This is a great distro for brand new candidates.

Play with it for a couple of weeks and you'll fall in love with it; then junk that fucking piece of shit OS. Are people still using winblows ME? Plain DOS is better.

Good luck!
