Simple Linux tut site?

[DMarkwick]

I have a new PC, and at least one application that requires Linux. Now, I don't wish to have a seperate Linux machine, basically I want what I have now with the option to boot into Linux once in a while, or even better to run it in a virtual machine within Windows 7 64 bit (the Linux app, although dealing with lots of data, is in itself not too resource-hungry). Anyone know of a good, easy to follow resource to enable this?

now i used microsft apps under linux ubuntu with whine but im not aware off the possebilety to use linux apps in such a way, the only way that i know off to aprouch it is to install a dual boot so you can swich on and off. if you dual boot such an install you need to have your microsoft os first and then the linux or ubuntu.

There are, or atleast there used to be a free version maybe you could track it down. If not im sure there are plenty of free virtual os apps around somewhere.
