An interesting question:
With today's huge disks, it's always useful to reserve a small
partition (hundreds of MB's) on the disk for Win, even in servers.
You never know when you will need it: For fonts (using DrakFonts),
for DLL's (to run Wine better), for hardware diagnostics and
detection (when Linux fails to do it), etc. So even in installations
of Linux servers, I reserve a small partition for Win.
The big question is: WHAT Win exactly? Win 9x (the latest: ME), or
NT (the latest: 2000). From the first look, 2000 looks better. But I
am not sure. Do both live peacefully with a Linux partition? And
with lilo (or the similar boot software from Mandrake)?
