    i run redhat linux 9 next to windows xp and recommend rh9. the install allows you to specify NOT to overwrite your existing windows stuff. just choose NOT to install a boot loader and use a floppy to boot to linux. there are other options but this is the simplest one. good luck.

    RH9 is quite old - a lot has improved since then in Linux world.
    The descendants of RedHat Linuxes is the Fedora Core series but unfortunately FC stability is a far cry from the RH stability of old.

    Some other user friendly mainstream Linux distributions: SuSE, Mandrake, (K)Ubuntu
