Well I'd think you would agree that we should never assume that everyone is
at the same level of experience and
that there is more then one way to approach an installation. The best way to
get someone on the right track is by showing them the easyest way. To assume
a higher level of expertise like a systems admin or such would be at first
meeting the person a little much. My opinion stated that there are different
ways of installing XP and RedHat together and since we are trying to get
people accustomed to linux, I thought the easyest way is the best approach.
Yes you can install both OS's on the same drive, but some have said at
meetings and through this list that instead of trying to get both to live
with each other on the same hard drive its easyer to install them on
different drives. (ie: any windows/linux installation) Which I do agree
with, but that is just an opinion not carved in stone!
