well.. before i got my new linux box, i was running both under the same box.. in a very mickey mouse setup... but it did work.

i had 2 hard drives in the win2k box.. and win2k was only installed on 1 hard drive. .. then, i unplugged 1 hard drive and installed linux on the other drive... (make sure you make a boot disk when you install linux.)

then, after i was all done, i re-hooked up both drives, and then when i wanted to run linux, i would put the linux boot disk in.. otherwise win2k would boot up.

not very scientifical, but it worked.. i don't know if this will work for every situation.. good luck. you are adventurous =)
