On the partition and booting, there's really no big configuration difference
from using separate drives or just different partitions (good for fault
tolerance though). I have a tri boot system, same hard drive. 1st
partition is Win9x, 2nd is Win2k, and the rest are RH 7.3 system and swap
partitions. I use the Win2000 boot manager. I would have used LILO, but
was already half way through the installs and forgot to do something, so I
just used the 2k boot manger. There's a ton of FAQs on the web on how to do
this. Simple actually, you just need to follow the right steps. It also
helps if you have a partition utility like PartitionMagic so you can hide
stuff from Windows during installs.

This is sort of non-technical but this is what I
deal with when the question of "going to linux"
arises. Is there good Graphic Arts Software
for Linux? I know I should check and see if
COREL still is supporting Linux for DRAW
and PHOTO-PAINT. I know this is non-technical
but this question comes up time and again when
I talk to Graphics people about going to Linux.
As far as technical questions in general...Well is
it a cleaner solution to go to a setup where Windows
has its disk and Linux has its disk and one dual boots.
That would seem to be a way to get around many of
the partition problems. Have I got that correct overall?
I am overall lurking and watching the partition thread
with great interest.
Thanks and Have Fun,
Sends Steve
