[LINUX_Newbies] New to Linux

 

Hi, I am totally new to the Linux OS. I have an HP Pavilion Dv4 Laptop that has windows 7 on it. I really do not like Windows. I hear that Linux is supposed to be a good OS. I do not know where to start. I want Linux. I would probably go with Mint since it runs so good with the Sun virtual box. I need to keep windows. CANNOT risk ANY data loss. I know there is a way to partition the Hard Drive to Run both OS but do not know how to do it and it sounds a little risky. Also... I am aware that the Broadcam wireless adapter that is built in to my laptop might not work. This is a big drawback. Is there a solution for this? If not then I have a linksys wireless usb thing that plugs into the computer that might work. But I'd rather have the one that is built in. I need a lot of description! I have NEVER used Linux ever! I hope that there is a Linux genius out there that can help me.
