First of all, no you don't have to sit at a command prompt all day, it is graphical. Similar to Windows, you've got a command prompt (called the Console) that you can use for certain tasks and if you're computer is busted. But normally you use a interface called KDE to work in. The Windows equivalent of KDE is Windows and the Windows equivalent of the Console is MS-DOS. That's how that works, here's a screenshot of KDE:

Also, Windows and Linux can easily co-exist on the same computer, when starting the computer you will be prompted if you want to use Windows or Linux, every time you start it does it this way, so if you use both, no problem. The only slight problem you may have is that before installing Linux, you have to make space for it on your hard drive. If you've got nothing important on your hard disk, this isn't a problem. Here's what you've got to do:

• Ask a expert, such as the ones at http://www.nowonder.com(this is a free tech support site). Or you can ask me. Ask about "Shrinking primary DOS partition to make room for a EXT2 partition"
• Follow the directions the expert gave you on making free space.
• Insert the Corel Linux CD and reboot your computer.
• When it asks where you want to install it, choose "Use Free Space"
• It's installed.
