Inspiron 1150 and Red Hat 9 (Shrike)
Howdy,
Just wondering if it would wise to wipe XP and install Red Hat on a new Inspirion 1150. I know I can check for hardware compatibility, but even if it all works well with Linux, there is no guarantee that it is a good move. Any suggestions?
Brendo

Brendo, you can keep your XP, and set-up a dual-boot. I have an 1150, running Mandriva 2005 as my primary system, having XP assigned to a smaller partition. I can choose which I want to run at boot time (Mandriva is set as default). The Mandriva installer has a very good disk partitioning utility and will give you the option of setting up a dual boot with your existing system. I am not familiar with RH, but I suspect it has a similiar option?
Best regards.
