I was referring to being able to access both devices simultaneously.
If you will only access one hard drive at a time (under normal circumstances),
then you may as well put the CD-ROM drive on the other IDE channel so that
you can read from CD and access harddrive at the same time.

Unless you are going to access data frequently from the Windows 2000
drive, I personally make the Linux drive slave on the same controller because
you will only be accessing one disk at a time. That way, you can
put a CD-ROM or whatever on the secondary controller without any performance
loss.

Install Windows 2000 first and then install Redhat. You will probably
do best having the Redhat drive as a slave to the primary Windows 2000
drive or have each drive be master on individual IDE controllers.</font></font>
