Dualbooting with Vista
 

Does simplyMepis support dualbooting with Vista home premium? I've had a lot of bad luck with OpenSuse doing this or not as the case is. I am a total newbee so a very simple answer on how to do it would be great/

Hi and welcome to LQ, to answer your question the best I can. If you use default installation I would think Suse would be the easiest to install but you can give Simply Mepis a try without installing. It is a live cd, just insert the cd and then restart your computer and check it out. If you do not like Simply Mepis give one of the other live cds a try, that is the beauty of linux.

clearly not an intro. moved to Linux - Newbie. please check where you are posting next time.

Mepis has Grub that can boot any number of MS systems. So is the Grub in Suse.

Vista boot loader (BCDedit) can boot 150+ Linux if you've got them.

You can mix the two together too.

This is what I used to run Ubuntu Linux(or any other distro) in a dual boot with Winblows Vistasuck. The guides are very easy to follow and have screen shots. Here is the only link you need http://apcmag.com/node/5162/

SimplyMEPIS itself doesn't need to support dual-boot with vista, the bootloader that it uses does, but grub can boot just about any operating system
