Purely anecdotal I know, but Ubuntu has been nothing but good for me. It
does allow me to boot XP, and I've just accessed my FAT32 'shared' drive
for the first time without a hitch.

I've also had no problems with the LiveCD. I find it peculiar that
people have such strange problems with what appears (to me) to be a
pretty solid distro.
