Funny, my new work laptop came with XP, and I didn't have any troubles
adding linux. Of course,. I had to shrink the XP partition down from 20G
to 4G, but that's expected. 

After that, I installed RHL 7.2 and all was right with the world. Well,
except sound, but that's going to be an issue with any distro and this
box ATM.
