   My favorite configuration for running Win & Linux is with 2 towers, one   
   monitor-kb-mouse + KVM microswitch.   
      
   Typically I buy my computers from Fry's for less than $150 with Linspire   
   installed and toss/salvage the extra keyboard and mouse which comes with   
   the computer package and use the included sound.  My favorite IOGear   
   KVM* flips with keyboard input, and I bought it at Fry's on special too.   
   Then I partition the drive and put some alternate linuxes on in additon   
   to the linspire.   
      
   My Win box also has linux partitions, but I prefer to flip from one OS   
   to another with the KVM rather than rebooting an alternate partition.  I   
   don't use XP, so it isn't hard for me to extend my Win license to   
   include however many machines I like.  Currently there is also a win98   
   partion on 3 out of 4 cheap networked machines here, and quite a number   
   of linux distros.   
      
      
   * MiniViewT Micro PS/2 KVM Switch (GCS62)   
   2-Port PS/2 KVM switch with built-in cables   
      
   The smallest 2-port PS/2 KVM switch available   
   Use one keyboard, monitor and mouse to control two computers   
   6' long molded-in cables to simplify setup   
   No software required
