Unix/Linux on dual boot

I am a newbie to unix/linux and since I do have Solaris 9 and Redhat 9, I have an 80gb drive that I want to use to dual boot them. I also want to down the line join this to a win2k adv server as a member server.

I am using a D-link wi-fi- access point DI614+ and a wireles card DWL-G520 and would like to know if there are any downloads I would need to make it work as well.

Thanks.

For unix + linux + win2K have a look here http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org/iii/3.html, which have a very good hints and procedure.

got the below info from here http://www.busybits.com.au/item/bfDLI40605?busybits=d5045be965c870f7d3bd0d35d85f8738 abt your wireless DWL-G520

Setting up an A/B/B+/G wireless device under Linux can be problematic. Drivers are in experimental/testing stage. You may find advice on how to set up your device at:

Thanks for the response: but I still wanted to know if once I setup the dual boot, could I join this to a win2k domain controller as a member server?? using the linux boot or unix boot?? or how would this be accomplished?? and would I need to use Samba??

Thanks

I agree with Glenn, what you need is the samba on either the linux or the unix or both.

Oh forgot to said you can also download the samba from samba site www.samba.org

Of course... I was just pointing at prebuilt binaries... The source is always the source:-)
