Actually, running it in a VirtualBox session shouldn't really be totally ruled out. Having said that, there's no real sorcery needed to do a dual boot system. Grab a linux distro CD/USB Image, preferably the one your usual servers are running, and go. I'm not too sure about the capabilities of some installer programs, so you might need to run something like PartedMagic [1] to create the necessary space on your hard drive first. 1: http://partedmagic.com/doku.php http://partedmagic.com/doku.php
