Well, on my end it was a disaster. After playing all night to have a dual boot
system working, which turned into much of the morning, I ended up not being able to
display the dual boot, not to mention forgetting my power cables,keyboard, and
mouse ( thanks everyone). After getting home, I discovered the problem, one which I
was sure I had checked. It turned out that I had the boot sector set to write
protect ( I love my system board...). When I discovered the problem I decided to
retrace my steps and recreate the dual boot install and to my amazement it worked,
so once I found the problem I started from scratch to make it a RH only system. All
in all it was a good show, got to give away a laptop hard drive, which I wonder if
it worked, and I got to help a couple of people with Gnome settings.

Next time around I'll probably take my other systems and recreate my network there.
I think it would be a better example, besides I have a celeron 300 that already
dual boots that isn't getting touched until then. VMware is up and running with
NetBSD, Slackware, Debian, and FreeBSD (thanks Glen) so there should be something
to show off next time.
