Go ahead, you can install it on a partition of your hard drive, and
still use dos as usual. You boot Linux with a  boot floppy (takes just
a second or two).
Caution: get a really good book on Un*x or Linux before you start.
The Un*x guys are bad about naming commands and files and such
strangely. For example, a command named DIR is likely named that
way because it was written by Dave, Irv and Ralf, and the command
erases all your files. (They love to do stuff like that).

Congress is good at two things:
Passing laws, and passing gas.
They put numbers on the laws so we can tell the difference.
