So what is the procedure for installing CentOS on a Window= s XP machines ( want to format XP ) . Is it a complicated procedure? Some k= ind of drivers and issues, is it common to expect ?

You sort of need to break this down into first determinin= g how to get Linux on your systems.

RHEL is pretty costly for a test, unless you've got = that covered.=A0 Go with CentOS for a proof of concept.

Get that covered first, then move on to determining how to get Hadoop = on them.

Can you give me some suggestions on how to proceed on this plan? My ini= tial plan is to target 4 to 5 machines.

Does the hardware on w= hich Windows XP machine is based supports RHEL?

Are there any = other drivers or software should we install before installing RHEL on this = machines?

How easy/difficult is this, if some one like a Linux Systems Admi= nistrator is involved in this?
