Dual Booting

Hi Greg,

First time on Marcel's site, but yes, you can. What kind of system are you planning on dual booting?

I just dual booted my laptops, one with 2000 pro and Ulteo, the other with xp pro and Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu.

The main thing to look out for is networking. If you are using a wireless network I would make sure that your card is going to be supported. If you are using a wired network you should...should be ok.

The only distro that I found would not dual boot very well was fedora. If you stick with Ubuntu, Mandriva, you should be ok.

Take Care.
Dean.
