Hi, i am currently running vista home prem, however this takes a while to boot up and be ready for general use, not to mention all i normally do on this computer is surf the internet and use my media centre application. I was wondering if there was a better operating system that i could dual boot with vista to enable a much faster boot time, i am aware that soe distros of lunix can bott very quickly but am unaware of what ones to look for. I do need a dual boot however because i need vista to run the powerful CAD programs which i currently use and also for the girlfriend to use, coz she will have no clue with linux. Here is a current spec list also:
Asus P5N-E SLI Mobo
Inno3D 8600GTS GPU
Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz CPU
Corsair DDR2 XMS2 2x2gb RAM
Corsair HX520W PSU.
I tried to install ubuntu and i got GRUB error 1.5 on startup which stopped me form booting into either OS and as a consequence i had to re-install vista and lose all of my picture, music etc.
Cheers for any advice offered
Matt
