Thanks for the heads up... Downloading the ISO now.
I've been thinking about Linux for a while... I've gotten tired of XP's bloat and instability. I'm planning on doing a dual-boot of XP (games, photoshop) and Linux (office, internet, e-mail). Probably won't get around to actually setting it for a few weeks though.
While I'm thinking about it, is there still a problem in writing to NTFS? I was planning on just using a spare parition to boot linux and using all of the other partitions with each OS. Do I have to do anything special in terms of configuration for this sort of a setup?
I suppose if the NTFS problem is still around I could use a pen drive formatted in FAT32 to transfer files between the two... Could get a bit irritating though. Gahh... I knew that I should have kept one of my drives in FAT.
