Dual boot XP and Suse/Red Hat on Compaq M700 notebook

[dzin]

Does anyone have tips on doing this? i have had success with dual boots (linux/xp) on workstations but never on a notebook. i read on suse's website that it's certified for suse linux and ive read that red hat has some probs... anyone with recommendations?

I've got a new HP ZT1135 laptop that has XP on it and I now triple boot XP, Suse 8 and BeOS 5 Pro. I have seriously tried about all the major Linux distros on it lately, Suse installed fine but I can't get some of the things working on it that are both a hardware compatibility issue and the fact that I am not a Linux guru. But otherwise you shouldn't have any problems dual booting.
