Many thanks for all the feedback. I've been down the dual-boot road more than a few times, and found it never quite worked for me. I used to have a machine running Debian, and although it took me several times to get it right, once I nailed it, it ran like a dream. I do have some music I purchased from the iTunes music store, so I'll have to use this jHymn program someone spoke of to strip off the DRM and get that working. I'm taking my finals in a few hours, so sometime soon after that, I'm gonna give Debian another try. Virtualization seems like a neat idea, but I've had Cedega run Windows games on Linux before (even faster than they ran on windows. =)), and supposedly, Transgaming has fixed a fair amount of the problems with WoW that used to require messy hacks to get around. Also, do any of you guys have any experience using an iPod as a removable disk? I am going to back all my personal files up on my iPod, and would need to know how to edit /etc/fstab in order to be able to get at them. It's been a LOOOOOONG time since I've used Linux, so it's prolly gonna take me a while to get back into the swing of things. OT - Does TCLUG still have beer meetings? I went to one 5 or so years ago before I moved to NY, and now that I'm back in MN, I certainly wouldn't mind drinking beer and talking about computers for a few hours. =)
