 Yes, it's possible. Jamie Bernstein at PCMag.com has figured out how to dual boot Linux and Windows XP on your PC. Now it'll be easier for you to decide which operating system to use.
The good news is that you don't need a super-powered machine with massive RAM and hard-drive space to dual-boot Windows XP and Linux. The EeePC--ASUS's popular ultramobile PC (UMPC)--can do the job
According to the article, it's a rather lengthy process that requires some effort. However, it can be done.
Head on over to the article to check out this mission-formerly-not-thought-possible.

The article summary is misleading. I've been dual booting XP & Linux for years -- nothing difficult about it. In fact, most Linux distributions will take care of everything for you during installation if you have XP already installed.

You're correct. This wasn't a general purpose dual boot article. It was specific to the Asus EeePC 900. Installing XP with the customized verzion of Xandros that Asus ships made the dual boot setup a bit different, and quirkier.
