Chantal,

RedHat 8.0 installs *beautifully* with XP - I also have had no problems
- RH8 even managed the bootloader with no extra help.

MUCH nicer than any previous version.

I think by now most of the kinks in 8.0 have been worked out and
binaries of most software is available.. so I'd encourage you to upgrade
if possible.
