For the sake of convenience, I chose Virtual Machine installation, Virtual Machine Software"
VMware Workstation 9.0 ". The vmwareworkstation virtual machine allows you to run two or more windows, DOS, and Linux systems simultaneously on one machine. VMware uses a completely different concept than the "Multi-Boot" system. Multiple boot systems can run only one system at a time. During system switching, you must restart the machine. VMWare virtual machines are truly "running at the same time". VMware Workstation enables you to switch between multiple operating systems on the platform of the primary system, just like standard Windows applications. In addition, you can perform virtual partitioning and configuration in each operating system without affecting the data on the real hard disk. You can even use the NIC to connect several virtual machines to a LAN, which is extremely convenient. Installed in VMware
The performance of the workstation operating system is much lower than that of the system directly installed on the hard disk. Therefore, it is suitable for learning and testing.

I will not talk about how to configure virtual machines here. For graphic tutorials, see install VMware Workstation 9.0 virtual machines in Windows 7.

Localization (date/time), keyboard layout, and installation target location options

Installation Target Location Option: Linux partitions should be the most difficult to master and understand throughout the installation process, because they are different from Windows operating system partitions, unlike "primary partition", "extended partition", and "logical partition" in windows, linux partitions include "/" root partitions, "Boot" Boot partitions, and "home" user directory partitions. In addition, a "swap partition" is added ", it can be understood as "page files" in the Windows operating system, that is, "Virtual Memory ". However, the ora partition process is simplified and the "use the entire hard disk" option is available. In order to save time, we can choose the default one. Click "continue" in the lower right corner ".
