Always have a good backup first. And just a suggestion, you could use a virtual pc software instead of dual boot if you have enough memory. I have in this way because I can play as I want, create networks, routers, VPN, etc. And just copy the disk file to create a new guest.

Shalom,

Build a boot cd here and you can boot off this and reduce the XP partition.

Then boot of FC/RH and install into the second partition, using grub as your boot loader/manager.

Done.

Use CenOS, is a clone of red hat Enterprise based on the source code.
