Thanks, Denny, for your response. Nope, 32-bit processor with Vista Home, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you have any more info, please advise, but I like what the other posts recommended about Mint. I thought that there should be a way to begin with a distro and then add XP. Kinda cool, too, in that Linux gets priority over M$, just as Vista, so I've heard, doesn't like to have its space invaded by another OS. Mark
