Well have been runnign Lnix for about 6 months. Reading a lot of info helped me get better and admin for my system. I started on Mandrake 8 and not am on 9. To set it up. I set up a removable HD bay and got a second drive. (Sorry but I still need M$ to do flash animations. Maybe try to learn java next to see if I can do the same stuff with java.) I did a straight install. Dual boot aint my bag. Had some intial trouble on 8 with the sound server, but cleared it up by changing my bios. (got to have my MP3s) Sometimes the simplest things fix the biggest pains. 2 simple facts I can't get over. 1. linux apps are small and powerful. 2. My cable modem just seems to be rocket powered under linux. Nothing like getting and entire ISO in 18 min flat. Don't think M$ will ever get me that. I'm still new at this but with time I will understand more about this os and be much better off. Plan to get another hd and bay so I can play with other distros. RH and Caldera are at the top of my list.
