I u want both things then Best approach is to have Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 installed as well as either Red Hat Linux (Fedora Core) or Gentoo Linux installed on the same hard-drive with a DUAL Boot mode. I have DUAL Bool with Windows 2000 Pro as well as Fedora Core which is Red Hat Linux version 10.
