  Are you sure XP's license agreement allows you to do this...?  We
  had a discussion around here last week about how merely using VNC on
  a system (even another flavor of M$) to access a M$-XP box would
  violate the XP licensing agreement.  Maybe M$ put in a clause to
  make it illegal to install another OS on the same hardware...  ;)

Actually, I would be interested in any comments you may have when
you complete it as I may be trying something similar soon myself.
