Would like to install a Linux distro and also leave Windows XP Pro on the HDD. The Thinkpad is a G40 Series, Celeron 2.4 GHz CPU, 248 MB RAM, 24.GB HDD. Is now running Windows XP Pro SP2. Any recommendations or gotcha's? I can download and burn any distro on to a CD or DVD. I have SimplyMEPIS 6.0rc1 SuSE 10.1 (DVD), Kubuntu 6.06 on CD's now. I have the IBM restore disks.
