>>Infact, Upgrades have lot of cons than pros mainly waste of time. (Purely
my opinion)
Yes, If you upgrade to Bleeding edge/Testing repos. I dont. I upgrade to
stable apps only.

>>I dont have any experience in Arch, I would appreciate to know your
experience with Arch till now.
Certainly Will, When I do install Arch.

>>Install XP first --> No grub
>>Install Arch next --> since it has a rolling release so no change to grub
>>Install Ubuntu next --> Actually Ubuntu detects more OS's on HDD than any
>>other which I have tried. So I suggest Ubuntu to be last in the list...
As mentioned in my OP, WinXP will not be installed. It will be a Arch +
Ubuntu Dual boot.

The CON's are - If something >breaks, you'd be spending time fixing it and
you would not have much of support like Debian/Ubuntu. Gentoo is superior

Gentoo/Funtoo/Arch. If you want stability, install Debian/Mint ( >an ubuntu
variant, but more stable ).

Gentoo, I have no Exp at all. And I am not a IT/Tech guy. Just a bit
Interested in computers to the extent that i can get my things done and
understand how things inside work. Actually got sick of Viruses and crashes
in WinXP, so moved to Linux.

>IMHO - If you are not playing games in XP., install linux alone and then
install Virtual Box or VMWare player and then install XP >inside that.

No, WinXP will NOT be installed at all.
