Dual boot is ok. But you may want to look into getting an used computer somewhere and doing Window on one box and Linux on the other. I found dual boot to be a royal pain in the butt and, in contrast, have had a lot of fun networking Windows and Linux computers. Having two operating systems networked together and both up at the same time has been more than twice as much fun.

Unfortunately, due to the network set up at work I'm forced to use MS office for making work documents, presentations, etc, so I have to have windows in some form at home. I wanted to give Red Hat 8.0 a test run, so I was wondering what the best method of running both in one box would be. I was considering using partition magic to make three partitions... one data, one win, and one linux. But, I was also looking at a new option... using removeable hard drives instead. Put Win 2000 on a removeable, Red Hat on a removeable, and leaving a data hard drive in the box.
