If you really want safety try using a Boot manager like System Commander 6.0.
I corrently have NT Workstation , Win95  and Red Hat Linux 5.1 running on
a 200MHZ CTX notebook with a 3GB harddrive.

        You can install both OS's, but you must be careful about which to

other OSs:)

        The question should be : Is there a xemacs for Windows? (There's
a xemacs for linux, try http://www.xemacs.org/ftp-sites.html)

        BTW, I  almost prefer for linux emacs to xemacs, (emacs gets XXX
Terabytes of your HD and xemacs about XXX0 (well, actually 18M vs. 40M))
