Dual Boot Linux and XP

How to dual Boot Linux and XP?

the GRUB boot loader will allow you to boot into either OS... there will be no slow down at all.

ubuntu/kubuntu etc. (and most other linux distros) install grub by default... ubuntu/kubuntu automatically allows you to resize your windows partition to dual-boot.

The other possibility, if you don't mind loosing everything in your windows install is to re-partition completely just for linux, install ubuntu, then install either virtualbox OSE, or vmware, install XP inside of vmware or virtualbox, and you can then open a windows session "inside" linux... the performance is a *little* slower, but not bad.
