Re: Choosing a Linux distribution
Er... Redhat doesn't like Windows XP. I found out the hard way when my comp wouldn't boot either OS and I had to spend a few days extracting files at a friend's house and then reformatting. I found out later on the Redhat website that there was a warning for that. Oops. I think there's some fix to work that out if you really want XP/Redhat on one system, but I would suggest just finding an older computer (PII ~233mhz-400mhz) to run a dedicated linux box. Hope that helps you on the path of what not to do.
