Yeah I would warn against it, but it really depends on how familiar you are with Linux. I don't know anything about it and kept getting locked out of my installation despite following instructions that were supposed to ensure the opposite (!) but that's not really the problem; the problem was getting rid of the damn thing: FDisk wouldn't touch it and it was only through luck that I had the Norton equivalent handy and was able to use that to nuke the hard-drive and start over.
I'm sure there are a bunch of Linux geeks who would read this and think "Jeez, that's not a problem at all, you simply x,y then z..." but personally I would never tempt fate again. Not worth the hassle. Use a spare machine.
