I'm going to add Linux to my PC to get a dual-boot configuration. (I'm
tired of sloooow start ups and want to tap into the great tools
available.) The tutorial I'm looking at suggests Ubuntu. Is there a
significant difference in Linux implementations? Is Ubuntu one of the
better ones? Does it make a difference for running D2?
Thanks in advance for your hellp.

Thanks for all the good advice. I'll even listen to some of it!
Lots of votes for Ubuntu, so I'll probably go with that. (I'm encouraged
that I don't have to make a decision "once and for all time".)
Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do an install and run with it a little
bit this weekend. The hardest part looks to be to clean up my system. My
plan is to install Linux on my D: drive and leave the C: drive for
Windows. I've been using D mainly for backups, but I just got a USB hard
drive specifically for backups, so I can dedicate the D: drive.
Of course you should choose the D drive! Linux can't run on a C drive, it
lacks templates, object orientation, and a whole boatload of other
advanced features that Windows is "just fine" without having.
