Hey keep this thread going! I just bought a new Alienware system, have setup multi partitions, and am now trying to drink up the nerve to install Ubuntu as a dual boot without hosing the original XP OS.

My goal is to learn linux well enuf so I never need MS again - I do not, nor will ever have, vista.

Obviously, one of the first things I will do with it is Xfractint. I played around with it a little a few years ago on Mandrake 8.1 but I was not impressed, maybe its better now ...
