...and the fact that Photoshop CS2 needs it

Pretty sure it works fine in win2k. But really, why do you need more than Photoshop 7 or so? CS and CS2 add very little, if anything, and have very hefty price tags... Not that 7 really added much over 6 in the first place...

The GIMP or a GIMP. That is an imporant distinction.

Unless you need to fiddle with customized CMYK (I think that was the abbreviation) printer settings, The GIMP does everything Photoshop does.

Someone once posted the method for creating a dual-boot system, but IIRC, doesn't XP have to be on FIRST? Anyone have a link where I can read up on that?

The NT line boot loader is fine with dual boot setups. The 9x line boot loader is the one that does not do this. You have to install 9x first, then NT (win2k, XP). If you also want Linux, it is a good idea to install it last and use Grub as your boot loader.
Also, if you are installing XP on a new drive or somesuch, make sure to create a 6 GB partition for just XP and the paging file. Install all programs on a second partition. Then, move critical settings folders such as My Documents and Program Files onto the data partition with TweakUI (available on microsoft.com under XP power toys, or some other random locations for the pre-XP version of TweakUI). Export a nice, clean version of the registry after installing your programs to use in the future. This way, when windows decides it is time to implode, you can just format the windows partition and reinstall, losing no real data. In fact, you can do this as a preventative measure every 4 to 6 months to keep it running smoothly.
