[QUOTE="Anon-A-Moose, post: 211287, member: 2417"] I have tried a small partition with an install of Ubuntu in the recent past. Unless you do online gaming or need to run a specific very rare application, Ubuntu is really far better a system. Openoffice and Gimp alone are free, whereas office and photoshop are expensive. Just a helpful hint: if you're thinking about it, but not sure, Ubuntu has a flash boot version which is wonderful to try out, and it's not like you take a giant plunge when you install it. You can sacrifice ten gigs of harddrive space (a few movies) for a whole new OS, and stuff you store on the windows partition you can read and write with Ubuntu. The only use for Windows is gaming.
