Yes, that's the preferred way to go. Installing Windows first works well because Xubuntu (and other Debian-based distros) do a good job of seeing other installations and modifying the grub boot-loader entries to accomodate the other OS's. Windows does not do a good job of accomdating other OS's on a hard drive.
<br><br>I triple-boot Windows 2000, xubuntu 6.10, and fedora 6 on a laptop, and installing the two GNU/Linux distros has not caused a single hiccup with my Windows install. (btw, Xubuntu is the one that I like to use. The others are ones that I have to use.) :-)

Hey Adam & all,<br><br>So does this mean that you should install XP<br>first, and then Xubuntu finds it and asks if you<br>want to dual boot? That's how Xandros does it.<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">
