My Linux distro of choice (LibraNet) uses GRUB, but I've been getting away from multi-booting machines for the last couple of years. I do my Fractint work on the OS/2 box - Fractint works fine under OS/2. When I shift my main production work from OS/2 to the faster (of my two Linux boxes), I think I'll go with Xfractint and check out some other native Linux fractal apps. I could also use Win4Lin to run ChaosPro. David dvjones@ksbe.edu jpkotta wrote:
If you want to dual boot with Linux as one of your OSes, try Mandrake. The installer is better WinXP and WinME, IMO. Also, the partitioning tool is able to resize FAT (I've tried this, it works) and NTFS partitions (haven't tried it). It comes with two bootloaders (LILO and GRUB), and if you install it after installing windows, it will see all of the OSes on your system. All it will cost you is time to download it (3 CDs, 650 MB each).

Greetings,
Here's something I just discovered which may be of interest to those wishing to have dual or multiple booting operating systems, especially those experiencing problems on Win-NT, 2K and XP environments.
MasterBooter ------------ This boot manager lets you install and run up to six operating systems on a single PC. It comes with a powerful partitioning program. You can password-protect operating systems, hide and unhide FAT partitions for compatibility, set up a custom delay time, and more. This version adds internal Zip drive support.
