As per similar things said on the SDPD list - given
people are not all using Windows for Rietveld analysis -
hope the following is not considered too out of topic:
=======
There are some belated tutorial on the CCP14 site on installing
Redhat Linux 6.2 and MS-Windows dual/multi-boot systems for
Crystallographic Applications.
The default in these installations is to have no open
ports that could be used for probing and hacker entry
points.
http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/linux/linwin95a.html
Includes:
Generic Desktop PC: Installing Redhat 6.2 on a Dual
Boot Win95 system via Network/FTP/HTTP Install
Generic Desktop PC: Installing Redhat 6.2 on a Dual
Boot Win95 system via via Local CD-ROM Install
Toshiba Tecra Laptop: Installing Redhat 6.2 on a Dual
Boot Win95 system via Network/FTP/HTTP Install
Toshiba Tecra Laptop: Installing Redhat 6.2 on a Dual
Boot Win95 system via Local CD-ROM Install
This makes use of the freely available Ranish Partition
and Boot Manager: http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/

This is mainly optimised for getting the System S/Platon
suite (plus System S friendly programs: Shelx, Dirdif,
Crunch and Sir97) up and running on a PC (streamlined
Redhat installations do not tend to include the Fortran
compilers).

A list of Crystallographic (mainly small molecule and powder
diffraction oriented) programs that run on Linux but not Windows
is viewable at:
http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/linux/index.html#xtallinuxapps
The most recent addition being:
ZEFSAII GPL software for real-space method for zeolite structure
solution from powder diffraction data

Crystallographic applications and resources for Linux:

The most recent addition being:
"ESPOIR for Linux" - GPL'd Monte Carlo structure solution software
for powder diffraction.

I would be happy to hear of anything missing - relevant to
getting other crystallographic analysis software installed
and happily running.
