I think u seem to have some basics mixed up. If you install two operating systems on a machine, you can only boot into any one and only applications specific to that opearating system will be available at a time. It would be better if you specify what functions do you wish your server to perform and a suitable answer with respect to Linux OS capabilities will be posted. > Plz also tell me of any good book on linux networking. Linux as an OS has networking built into it groundup ( remember Linux was developed over the internet, therefore, the networking capabilities of linux are excellent). There are many books aimed at different levels. State your level and a suitable title will be suggested.
