Sure. Some of the distros will chop up the drive for you and it's fairly straightforward, can pretty much just follow the prompts, but I'd say the big gotcha is to not use a distro with an overly complex installer. The standard fallbacks are Ubuntu and Mint, Fedora's not too bad either, except Fedora uses an LVM these days by default. Can you be more specific? What is it about the process that has you worried?<br>

The system came with a 500GB hard drive, and it won't let me swap in a smaller hard drive and use the one that came with it for Ubuntu, so I want to create a dual-boot. I found some instructions. They sure seem complicated. Do a lot of you guys do something similar to this:</div>
