After 136$ for XP pro. and 200$ for new hardware to work with XP.  My AMD700 (hackers chip) is running XP(at the house).  Everything is working.

I now want to add(dual boot) several flavors of LINUX.  I think I need to do the following in the following order.

1.  Clear the NTFS formatted one disk drive on the machine(30 gig).  To cheap to buy partition magic.
2.  Create a FAT32 partition for the LINUX, may be 6 gig.
3. Create another FAT32 partition for the XP, maybe 8 gig, leave the rest unpartitioned for future use.
4.  Add the LINUX to the 1st FAT32 partition
5.  Add the XP to the 2nd partition.

Anyone have suggestions, before I hose this machine again.  How do I get LINUX drivers for my hardware.  VIDEO card, Mouse and NIC card?
Or am I at the hardware vendors mercy?

Thanks
