I just found out I can run a different OS on my eMachine and was wondering how to set up my system to dual boot....i think that's what it's called when you select what OS you want to use if you have more than one. I have Windows XP home now and want to use Ubuntu( linux based ) as a second if that's possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're gonna need a LOT more support than /comp/ will ever be willing to provide anyone. Might want to go join linuxquestions.org or a similiar forum, or look for a nearby LUG. For what it's worth, most modern *nix operating systems come with a bootloader that also can load Windows. For linux, its GRUB, for BSDs, they have their own bootloader, which is simple and minimalist, but it gets the job done, and supports a good deal of configurations (ie. USB drives)
