Glossary Entry: Dual Boot
Definition
Dual booting is a technique where a tech-savvy user has installed two operating systems on the same computer. When a computer like this is turned on (ie, booted), the user can select which operating system to load, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of both operating systems without the hassle of managing multiple computers.
Often, users plan their dual boot systems so they have a version of Microsoft Windows (for gaming) and a Linux distro for everyday use.
