I also moved my projects folder, and our folder of ripped mp3’s. This is in preparation for upgrading to Vista. I wanted our files on a separate drive so that if everything goes to hell, we won’t lose our stuff.

I now have an extra copy of XP and a copy of Ubuntu that I can start up from within my normal XP boot. It doesn't have all the power available that would come with a clean reboot, since it's running within Windows, but for getting familiar with Ubuntu it's a pretty nice way to go. The second copy of XP is nice for testing out apps that I'm unsure about and other miscellaneous screwing should the compulsion arise.

Unfortunately, I haven't been using linux as much as I'd like, as its a pain to have to reboot for Erin to use windows, and vice versa :( Derek, thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a shot.

Only problem you might have is that Ubuntu doesn't come with KDE installed AFAIK, so you'll have to spend a little extra time waiting for it to install.
