Wow I remember this being covered in Custom PC, a magazine in the UK.
I emailed the author to get the modified bootloader source code that he mentions at the end to allow the dual boot between XP and red-hat via a hardware switch. It was magic to me at the time as a 13 year old! I probably still have the code somewhere.
There was something special about Mini-ITX machines at the time, nothing was that small.
That sounds great. I'd love it if I did that!
Sadly, they axed my "Inside Linux" column after a year, and David Moss's "Inside Windows" too... but they kept my free contributor's subscription running for the next 13 years or so, which was amazingly generous and gave me a lot of enjoyable reading.

For which I wrote the Linux column for the mag's first year. :-)
