To be a wee bit pedantic, there is no such thing as a "Windows XP machine".
There is a *machine* and an operating system can be installed on it. So
surely you can install Linux on it. You should choose a Linux disribution
depending on the capacity of the machine.

That's a nice video. If the OP was referring to dual-boot, this would be a
good path to take. If the OP wanted to runs Linux on top of Windows
("install Linux on a Windows XP machine" was the phrasing), I recommend the
following, whose hit-and-run author (Dennis Daniels) once posted to this
newsgroup:

These are screencasts.
Hope it helps,
