OT: Linux

On the dual boot configuration, I have to admit, I ended up taking the cowards way out. I have XP’s boot loader on the Primary Master (XP) drive and GRUB on a floppy disk. On the floppy disk it works fine and can boot easily into XP or Debian. One neat benefit of this arrangement (and probably others) is that XP’s hibernate to disk function works completely independent of Linux, so I can hibernate XP, restart the machine, boot Linux, work there for awhile, shut down Linux, boot into XP, and come out of Hibernate right where I left off.

Just wanted to add that this convenient benefit is not dependent on using a floppy to dual-boot. The one or two times I tried it with the dual-boot menu thats automatically installed by mandrake, it worked as you describe.
