Windows XP + Linux

[Luis Mendes <l.mendes@ic.ac.uk>]

Hi, 

I am about to install Woody in my new Toshiba 1800-314 which came with
a copy of WinXp Home Edition installed. In the past I had linux
coexisting with different flavours of Windows (3.11, 95, 98) but never
with XP. I am a bit worried because after a search I got conflicting
views on how easy it is to get linux coexisting with XP. As
anyone in this list tried it sucssefuly? One other related issue is
that XP comes installed in a WIN32 filesystem but I can convert it to
NTFS. Should I do this? will Linux be able to see my XP partition in 
an NTFS filesystem. 

I looked in the archive for this list but it seems this topic was
never raised.

I have a 15G unpartitioned disk.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, 

Luis
