I just bought a new ThinkPad T30 which came with WindowsXP Pro installed.
Before I can install any OSes I trust (OS/2 Warp/EcomStation, RHL 9) I
need to curb XP's hegemony over the 60G disk.  The whole damn thing is
formatted as an NTFS C: drive.  XP doesn't take up but 5G (does MVS need
that much DASD space these days?) but then there's that peculiar matter
of the hidden "recovery partition".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i would say unless you need the "extra help" blow the RP away (after a full disk backup)
and go for it
