I want to install a dual boot winxp pro and enterprise linux WS or AS
system on my dell dimension 8400 which I got recently.

I do not find any detials of how to install a dual boot system with win xp and enterprise linux. Winxp pro and redhat 9 install is available but I don't know if
thats the same for enterprise linux.

Also is the dell dimension 8400 hardware ok with enterprise linux WS or AS or are there any specific issues with any part?

I am new to linux so a step by step guide would be very helpful.

The dimension hardware is as follows:

Dimension 8400 Series, Intel Pentium 4 Processor 530
(3.0GHz) w/HT Technology and 1MB cache
1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
