I have been using Debian Wheezy for the Linux side of the Lab for quite a while now and am comfortable with it. There is nothing unique to the current install. I would like to move the system to a dual boot with Windows XPPRO. I understand the easy path is to install xppro first and then add the Linux distro.

Debian is a pretty popular distribution, and should be able to do anything
other distributions do.
If doing longterm note that MS is ending support for WinXP and so there
will probably be no more security updates after a certain point this year.
It's still usable, but I don't know how vulnerable it will be.
