Win XP / RH 7.2 Network Compatability

Right now I have 3 computers in my house, my laptop is running XP, my desktop is running XP pro and my other desktop is runninf Red Hat 7.2, I have DSL and use XP's ICS to share it. Now that I have the Linux box on the network should I change from XP's ICS to a better sharing program that Linux hosts? If not I'm assuming that XP's ICS software won't work on Linux so I will have to change sharing software regardless, any suggestions?

Doesn't matter how you set it up. They will all work together fine. Usually it is wise to have the computer who shares the internet connection to be a stable computer though. A dedicated computer is always nicer. That would make the redhat computer a better candidate then the XP one.
