[newbie] Y2K tip for dual boot machines

This is a tip from ZDnet if you have a dual boot machine. If you shut
your computer down before midnight, boot it into Linux first. if a
hardware problem crops up, you can reset the hardware values to the
correct settings and then boot into Windows. They didn't go into
details, but they said there are several possible problems that could be
avoided this way.

I can't give any details because they didn't provide any.
