 From personal experience, the answer is no, not much.  I am currently 
using Mandrake 9.1 on a Gateway, duel booting with XP - I keep the XP 
because if I ever need tech support on the box, I would have to load it 
anyway.  The install program resized the XP partition for me, and we 
went on from there.  My only complaint is the amount of disk allotted 
for XP is more than I had hoped, but in reality it may be that it needs it.
Regards
Fred James
