I traditionally try out linux for short bursts of time and get sick of it or it stops dual booting and go back to m$ for day to day work.
I wanted to install redhat 8.0 from PCQ with win 2000 pro Is PCQ 8.0 different from redhat or only change is with the name and some instyallation options.
How can I do that? What partition schemes to use for a 20 Gb? Is grub better than LILO ?
How do I ensure in case of a booting problem my data in NTFS or FAT partitions are intact and easily recoverable ?
I know regular back up helps but That may be too much at times.
Will ge force nivada card and Proview LCD monitor be supported and what's the settings I need to use?
Thank you linuxites

Essentially, PCQ 8 is made from the same base as RedHat. However, what they have done is to change the default settings and include some software which they felt would be required for Indian users. For example, some most local Cable ISPs use Encore 24OnlineClient, they have provided a Linux Client for it. They have also included linxu client for msn messanger and yahoo messanger and the accounting software called GNUCash.
