I am downloading Ubuntu while doing this, and have not delved into the 
documentation completely yet, but I want to ask a quick question before I go 
much further. When I download files or programs to use in Linux, will they 
co-exist on my windows hard drive, or do I need to make a separate partition 
for Linux? If so, how big should it be, and how do I format it?

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike
