sounds like a good plan. i've had ubuntu on all my computers for over 3 years with no problems. i can't speak for redhat or any other form of linux, but ubuntu does just about everything windoze does. it's easy to install along side windows too. just put the ubuntu disk in the optical drive and follow the simple instructions. i usually give ubuntu a little more than half the hard drive since i seldom use windoze anymore. another nice thing about ubuntu is you can leave it on for weeks and it won't slow down your computer. as you know, you can't get away with doing that with windoze.

Wis woman jailed for biting off husband's tongue Associated Press SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A Wisconsin woman is accused of biting off her husband's tongue as he was giving her a good night kiss. Sheboygan police say the man in his late 70s called authorities about 11 p.m. Monday, but was having trouble speaking. An ambulance was dispatched to the house. Sgt. Terry Meyer says the husband and wife were singing Christmas carols when paramedics arrived. Meyer says the woman, in her late 50s, threw a coffee cup at them. The man was taken to a Sheboygan hospital and then transferred to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in the Milwaukee area where he was to have his tongue reattached. Police say the man didn't want his wife arrested. But, she was taken into custody on possible charges of mayhem and domestic violence.
