I did this dual boot with Win2000 / RH6.1 not very long ago. It's really a
no brainer (well the linux part of it anyway). Very basically, install
Win2000 leaving space for Linux. Install RH6.1 (I use custom install
option) and choose to put LILO on the MBR. Nothing special other than what
I've mentioned.
