Advice: Partition, Dual Boot Help???

[Marv Kaminsky]

Hi-

I'm new in town and need some advice.

I'm not a techie, dislike Bill Gate$ and would like to find someone who
really knows what they are doing to safely partition the hard drive on my
Dell running WinME and install a very user-friendly version of Linux
(RedHat? Lindows? Subject to discussion) to dual boot.

I'm using Mandrake 8 alone on another computer but rely completely on the
graphical interface and have no interest in going beneath that. Just want
a reliable OS along with the WInME I need available on the other machine.

I'm not able to make it to installfests/meetings and would rather just pay
a reasonable charge for the convenience.

Is there a shop or person or competent volunteer - who really knows what
they are doing and will explain stuff to me in small, easy words - you'd
suggest calling???

I appreciate your help.

-M!
