Is you brother an idiot?
He couldn't google ubuntu?
He has to email you!

Hilarious.

He won't be able to install a dual boot.
Doubt he can get both boots on the correct feet.

No, he's a certified genius and independently wealthy.

He was considering Linux and emailed me for my recommendation as to
which distro.

Goes to show how little you know yet are so willing to post your
ignorance anyway.

So, your brother hasn't heard of ubuntu?
What other distro did he think you would recommend?
Sure its your brother?

Is he a genius in the way "Rain Man" was a genius ?

He's a programmer, a web developer, has had a 'puter since the '70's, yet
had to ask YOU for advice?

He's either a moron, or you tell lies just for the hell of it.

Open Office is a great project, and everyone should be aware of it. The
entire open source movement is a fantastic resource and to be commended.
But Open Office is a much different piece of software than Office from MSFT,
and there are still a lot of people who buy Office on their OEM pcs, who
would do much better if they knew about the student offer. I wish I had been
able to buy Office for that price when I was in school, and that there were
cute little netbooks or notebooks with SSDs in every pot then. For 97% of
the population that wants to word process a document, it probably contains
enough features. It would have saved me an infinite amount of time and
lugging heavy books from the library.

It's also useful in a pinch to know that MSFT has offered a 60 day free
trial of Office Pro for downloading and all it takes is an internet
connection to [url]http://office.microsoft.com[/url]

Considering the power that gives you with a few mouse clicks compared to
what we had back in the day, that's a good deal.

Why yes_you_can:

Dual booting Unbuntu or any Linux with Vista or Triple Booting any Linux
with Vista and Win7 is (how you say in the country where Redmond Washington
is) is "piece of cake". iess how you say no problemo and iess here below
pic or how you say screenshots to how you say "jist do it man."

Sometimes you Remove the NeoGRUB entry. Close EasyBCD. Restart EasyBCD and
then add it again. But this time choose the partition after you do check the
box for GRUB is not installed to the MBR.

I wouldn't add ubuntu to any boot scenario of mine.
As for your help , I use GRUB to control 6 different OS's.

My current favorite is fedora.

Why would I need neoGRUB or EasyBCD ?

I know how to use bcdedit.exe and how to add entries to GRUB.
I leave my grub intact and manually add new install kernel lines.

You learn by doing it the hard way. :)
