RedHat will confidently install to a blank or previously-linux-formatted drive, but it's very cautious about overwriting other operating systems unless you specifically tell it to. And it'll automatically set up GRUB to dual-boot with whatever OS was already installed.
All but NT/2000/XP/2003, for those a bit more tweaking is required.
Have a good PDF file that makes it easy, with pictures even!, to get around the NT boot problems.
I've put Mandrake 9.1 on 2 dual boot machines (1 with 2000, 1 with XP) and it didn't require any tweaking. The only requirement is that the order of installation is important. You have to partition the disk first then put windows on one partition, then Mandrake on the empty part of the disk. Mandrake finds the windows partion(s) and puts an entry in lilo for it. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
