Type of
Linux Installation:
Installing of
Linux is very easy and here are different types of installing Linux.
Fresh Installation:
In this method you can format the computer’s hard drive and install Linux from
Bootable CD/DVD or Bootable USB drive. In this method Linux is the only
Operating system in your computer.
Dual Boot
System:
One of the things
that make Linux special is that it can play nice with other operating systems.
You can run Linux alongside of other operating systems quite easily. Running Linux
along with other operating system like windows is called “Dual Boot” system. It
means that you have a system with two different operating systems, and during
the boot process you will need to decide which one you would like to boot into.
Live CD/DVD:
Many
Linux distributors provide the option to try it without installing. In that
Linux runs as a completely bootable operating system from the CD/DVD. The files
are loaded into your computer's memory, rather than being run for a hard disk
drive. So you can run Linux from a CD/DVD, and when you reboot your PC, and
remove the CD/DVD, it will boot back into its old operating system without any
difference to your PC. This gives you an easy way to try out several
distributions of Linux.
Virtual
Installation:
You can install Linux inside Virtual Machine also. This method is
preferred by many peoples in these days. There are a number of ways to do this, the simplest one is to download
and install a Virtual Server application, and then install your Linux
distribution under that host software.
