I suggest you invest in another machine - second hand perhaps. This strategy
takes all the risk out, saves time waiting for re-boots, adds functionality
and has a gentle commitment curve. Basically it avoids grey hair. ;-)
There is I believe some gotchas too regarding co-existing operating systems.
Assignment of interupts and things. Windows
likes to play around - or let you play around with them. I don't know how
Linux is with them now, but when I last looked
it had problems. Or perhaps it was just me... The point is the hard disk is
not the only potential point of interface between
the two (or more) operating systems - device configuration could be an issue
too.
Having another machine allows you to become try out your latest Rebol
network innovations in a more realistic setting too. :)

Brett.
