You're not "tricking" WinXP into doing anything - it can handle FAT32 partitions that large fine. I have an 80 GB and a 128 GB FAT32 partitions in my PC. It just refuses to make new ones that large because of efficiency issues when storing large numbers of small files on a partition that large. Now if that page was about how to actually create ones that big from WinXP (other than with Partition Magic), then it might have been interesting

Ok. Let's say we have 20 GB or so left for Red Hat. How should I parition that?

And should I reinstall XP first, or install Linux first? Or does it matter?
I'd install XP first, since Linux has better multi-boot capabilities. Installing XP second would make it troublesome to get back into Linux again the first time afterwards.

As for partitioning the space for Linux, I guess someone like Unne could answer it better than me, if he's around
