Non linux question:

Tarus - what version of XP did you load until Parallels?  Or did you load
Linux under Parallels?  I've been having quite a time trying to load XP Home
under Parallels.  I don't make it past the first couple of screens.  I
always get a BSOD, usually within the first five minutes.  I'm going to try
again tonight doing exactly the steps in the book but so far I've had no
luck getting this to work.
