One may ~~also~~ consider purchasing a new hard drive (a small 20GB one will do) so that a Linux install won't interfere with your Windows installation.

One may consider purchasing a new hard drive (a small 20GB one will do) so that a Linux install won't interfere with your Windows installation.

If that is not an option, one will have to '''Dual-boot''' or install two ~~Operation~~ Systems (OSs) on a single disk, choosing which one to use when the machine is powered on.

People unfamiliar with Linux are highly recommended to use Ubuntu, as in my experience it is the most user-friendly and easiest to get into.

== Installing Wine ==

Wine is an incredibly useful tool that emulates a Windows environment within a Linux installation.

Basically, it lets one install and run applications designed for Windows (in this case, EVE) in Linux.

For simplicity's sake, this walk-through will be done with Ubuntu 9.10.

If this is your first Linux installation, you will first need to set up a root user (Linux-speak for ''Administrator'').

Open a terminal window (For Windows people, this is the Command Line) and type:

<pre>sudo passwd root [Enter]</pre>
