To keep it simple. (1). IDS for Linux works with Red Hat package manager. So using Red Hat may be the easiest installation option. Even though other Linux distributions probably have compatible package managers. (2). A 3rd party partition and boot manager like Partition Magic is probably well worth investing in.
