unsure aboutthat but i believe u can run ur windws programs in linux using an emulatore called WINE. itll run alot of progs of win's in linux. u can also get ur files off of ur xp 2 run but mounting ur xp partition. winehq.com or win4lin wine is free and runs alot. a 3rd alternative is VMware. its emulation and wont as clean as it would in xp. i ran mirc in linux and the txt was way hard 2 read use at r own risk. l8r man maybe someoen else will have an opinion but redhat comes iwth wine. its tyhe emu of choice. l8r
