    Hi,

    I am planning to set up a multi-boot environment with Windows 7 and a GNU/Linux distro (still undecided, lol). I am currently running Windows 7.

    I read somewhere that it is better to create the new partition before you try installing the new OS, as opposed to doing it during the installation.

    What do you recommend?

    P.S. If it helps, I will probably install an Ubuntu-based specialized distro.
