I just ordered a Dimension 8400 w/ a 250G hard drive. I ordered minimum
software (Xp home and Word Perfect) because I have MS Office on an older
Dimension 8200 and Xp Pro Educational Copy which isn't installed on any
machine. I had the Xp pro on the 8200 before the hard drive crashed and
was replaced with the original Xp home which came with it.
What I want to do is convert the 8200 into a Linux box i.e. no MS
software and install the Xp Pro and MS Office on the 8400 and dual boot
with Linux. Will this work? Am I in trouble with some MS licensing issues?
