Windows does not like to share, in the sense that you can't share the bootloader with it. So, anytime you want to dual-boot, you'd always have to install Windows first, then Linux. Linux's bootloader (Red Hat's is GRUB) will let you boot into either Windows or Linux.

I want to install XP and RedHat 9 (with a dual boot setup) on a new computer I am about to finish putting together. I have had issues in the past with this and I don't know which to install first so that I can use a Linux boot loader setup (lilo or grub).
How should I set up the partitions - what kind should each be?
Which should I install first? XP?
I might need some individual help to set all the stuff up in linux. I got some things set up after many hours of painstaking work and trying and many posts. I want to set up apache web server, mysql, php, ssh and ftp servers...
If you have any specific instructions on how to set these up that are idiot proof (j/k) I can probably follow them. Just don't assume that I know the "obvious" basics.
I figure that in half an hour or an hour if someone has time they could come over and set up the rest. If anyone feels like the could be such a generous soul next week or weekend sometime, let me know off the list.
Thanks a bunch.
Still liking Linux, Ammon
