Manny, Just a thought, why don't you run windows and linux at the *same* time? :)
That's what i do, using Cooperative Linux AKA colinux. Just think of it as UML in reverse. Run linux on windows. Although it may appear from the website that it runs japanese knoppix, have tested it personally with: Debian woody/sarge (sarge was an upgrade from woody) Fedora core 2 and 3 (3 was an upgrade from 2) Gentoo And all works fine. Have been using it for 6 months now, and it's really good that i have consolidated my servers at the basement from 3 to only 1 server now. And there is more, you can even run your existing Redhat 9(installed on a partition) at the same time without dual booting!
