what about sound etc?
Also the local tech where I studdy has this thing about having linux  windows and dos on a removable hard disk.
I have a windows machine, and I am trying to get a dos machine.
But this linux on a removable hard disk, I get told that because it requires hardware drivers that it can't go on laptops or can only stay on one machine.
Yet tech must have a way to move it around on a drive since people have to take it home.
Unless we have a version installed there and a version installed here.
But then why the removable hard drive.
Its all confusing.

Something like fedora will install easily on a used computer, you'll be able to take all the defaults and have a working machine in short order. That will settle your boot loader question too because whatever linux distrabution you choose will have a default boot loader.

I got my linux machine for free from someone because they were going to just throw it out and they'd have had to pay the city $20 to dispose of it. I don't know what things are like where you are but my opinion is that you should try to find an inexpensive used machine on which to install linux.
