Anyone? I was thinking something like Gentoo|Slackware and XP. Any stability issues? Also, what is a good GUI system? I like the slickness of GNOME(SP?), but I would like slicker.


Thanks guys :beer: <--Beer + Caffeine

I do not dual boot. I have a seperate machine for linix and you won't have any problems dual booting or triple booting. I would dual boot Debian and XP though. Also both KDE and GNOME are good. There are other ones that are lower on system recources, but since you have XP on the thing I do not think it is that old of a PC so running KDE or GNOME would be good.

How about hexa-booty? I'm got at least 4 OSes installed on my machine at work too.

Debian/XP dual boot here.

Works great, and I can do all the Linux stuff I need to do.

Mandrake 10.1/XP dual boot here. Will be switching to Debian when I have the time. No problems here so far. Using MDK 99% of the time :)
