I had nothing but trouble trying to maintain w95 and Linux on the same
drive.  Every time I reinstalled w95 it would overwrite the mbr? and I
would have to play with lilo or reinstall Linux.  I spent a week
trying to get the two to play nice with each other.  I think it is a
windows dominance problem.

My solution was to use two hard drives.  Things work better however I
think the real solution is two removable hard drives.  I will be
installing w2k server (NT5?) soon and will be using a removable.  I
want to use the same box as both a w2k server and a Linux server, on
separate removable drives.  Of course this all in the privacy of my
home.
