[NTLUG:Discuss] Xwindows servers and clients...

That sounds like a good plan.  Far less mistake prone then messing with your
laptop HDD.
Plus you can get LTSP experience under your belt.

Instead of doing anything to your laptop hd, you could try installing ltsp
on your dual Athlon and use a floppy (etherboot disk) to boot the laptop.
This way, when you want XP - boot from the hd. When you want linux - boot
from the floppy.
