    °Linux Networking You have two choices, a single Operating System (OS) or a multi-boot
    system.
    °Securing Linux
    Many desktop users like to run Linux in addition to Windows on an existing
    °Linux Security Tools PC. An additional hard drive may be used for Linux or an existing drive may
    be sectioned into two or more partitions. Linux may also reside as the only

    Using a separate drive for Linux is the easiest and the preferred multi-boot

    configuration because it allows the original Windows drive to remain intact.

    Another dual boot system option is to install the Linux boot loader on a
    floppy or CD. See the YoLinux.com tutorial on creating a boot floppy The
    boot process will be controlled by the MS/Windows boot loader. In order to
    boot the Linux drive, insert the floppy or CD with the Linux boot loader (Lilo
    or Grub) and boot from the floppy or CD. The Linux boot loader can be
    installed on the MBR of the floppy.
    Free Information
    Technology Note: Re-partitioning a drive will destroy all data on the drive unless a tool
    Magazine such as partition magic or fips is used. The Red Hat CD-ROM includes the
    Subscriptions and repartitioning tool "fips" in the dosutils directory. See /dosutils/fipsdocs.
    Document This tool is unsupported. Partition Magic would be a wiser choice for those
    Downloads pursuing this approach. For dual boot installations, MS/Windows can be re-
    installed allowing the Microsoft installer to repartition the drive.

    For those creating a dual boot system with Microsoft Windows and versions
    of Fedora Core or Red Hat Linux (8/9) with the GRUB boot loader, install
    Windows first and then let the Linux installation handle the dual boot
    configuration. It's that easy.

    Details: When creating a dual boot system with Windows NT or Windows


    2000, the NT loader resides on the Master Boot Record (MBR). Upon boot-
    up, the NT loader is activated and then it loads lilo or Grub to boot Linux.
    (Lilo is the older Linux boot loader. Red Hat 7.2 introduced Grub as the
    default boot loader.) In this instance, lilo (or Grub) does not reside on the
    Master Boot Record (MBR) as it would for a Windows 95 or Linux only
    installation. Instead lilo (or Grub) will install on the first sector of the root
    partition. See: LDP: NT Loader HOWTO

    Upgrades: I have been upgrading versions of Red Hat since 5.2. Each release
    can upgrade to the next. Fedora Core is the upgrade path to Red Hat 9.0.

    Hardware considerations:

    The latest releases of the Linux kernel will have the best chance at supporting
