Windows XP w/ Red Hat

[Guest]

I was wondering... since XP is basically the same kernel as 2000, will XP be able to dual boot with Red Hat Linux 7?

With all the reviews I've read so far, I haven't read anything about being able to dual-boot. If you wanted to do this, buy Partition Magic and use the included BootMagic software included. I used to use it when I was dual-booting between Win2K and Win98 before I when all the way to Win2K. It works great...

Yes I dont see why not. Basically all the bootloader does is point to the bootsector of the hardisk. If your really freaked out about it then just install LILO on a floppy and boot from there. Then you dont have to waste your cash on some software you dont need.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

waste cash? who said i was paying for anything?
ha.. right, like i'm about to fork out $300 for windows XP, $500 for office XP, $80 for Red Hat 7 and $60 for Partition Magic?

yeah.... sure... thats what cable modems and Gnutella are for.

Gnutella sucks, Hotline is much better.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

With friends like I've got, who needs Gnutella or Hotline?
Course, I wouldn't at all mind having cable, so I can download stuff myself.

Apple? Macintosh? What are these strange words you speak?

Using Hotline, where do you find software? So far, I've only had access to an mp3 server through a friend...

Thanks! Do you normally have to wait in line (queque 47) to download something? I know it sounds stupid, but maybe you'd know a faster server... 😱

I know a few good ones. But I've been using hotline since it was available for the PC. I used to run my own server so I have some decent contacts. Basically you have to search around until you find a decent one. It usually takes a hour or so. Yes, sometimes you have to click on porn banners or sign up for spam mailservice to get access. But usually the guest ones are the worst. It just takes time.
