Finally Did It!
After much debate, I finally decided to give something other than windows a try. Spent the past week downloading live cd's of Linux distros to check them out. After toying around with them for a day or two, decided to use the second drive in the rig in my sig to install Ubuntu. I will have to say that I am quite pleased. I am sure I will run into issues, but so far so good. Installation was very easy and everything at this point is working flawlessly.

Well, I thought it was going to be like that, but Im having pretty good luck so far. I just spent about an hour configuring the media player stuff, and still trying to get some hardware issues straight, but other than that, it's alot of fun.

Congrats on the dual boot, I'm sure you'll like the challange, you will also find it more rewarding because it will be configured by you.
