Surely. I do it (but I found eventually that I use Debian much more than
Win95 :) ). You'll need to repartition your hard disk to make space for
linux; this is possible with a few shareware utilities that are around.
I've never had need for them, but I'm sure someone here can point you in
the right direction.

I would check out the directory ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO
for some of this info ... look for Howto's on Dos2linux, installation,
etc.
