I compile a new kernel pretty much as soon as I find out a new one's
out. However, I don't reboot until I need to, so I often never
actually use a good number of the ones I compile.

That's probably a good idea, but IMO dual booting isn't as bad as you make it
sound. Windows users are accustomed to frequent reboots anyway.
However, I *would* suggest that about 2 weeks after installing a dual boot
system you should change the default boot to be Linux, so you'll start adopting
Linux as your psychological default as well. Once you notice that reboots are
no longer needed for windowsy reasons you'll start resenting having to reboot
just to run such-and-such an app, and then you'll find yourself looking a bit
harder to find a suitable Linux replacement. That's when the real weaning
starts.

that's the best you can do eh?
Of course, cause you are dead wrong.
I talk about newsgroups and things like DeCSS and Napster and Gnutella from
the point of view of someone who actually uses the products to understand
them. Not from ignorance and press clippings and slash dot posts.
What are you doing reading about 5.14 drivers if you Mr. Legal man himself?
That's like being an accessory after the fact, in your view.

You could not be supider... you just don't get it.
I could explain it to you but you'll never get it - instead I'll just tell
you this factoid:
5.14 "leaked" drivers from nVidia?
It is NOT illegal to use these drivers.
Period.
Write nVidia yourself and see what they have to say about them. I have.
That totally nulifies your points - completely. Utterly.
If you aren't a linvocate and a W2K user then you should have respect for
someone who is "on your side" instead of throwing stupid attempts at insult
around. Using "leaked" drivers from nVidia (who intends for people to do
just what they are doing with them) does not even remotely compare with
outright piracy via DeCSS, Napster and Gnutella. These drivers are written
FOR the consumer and I'm one of them. nVidia has no problem with using them
so you are speaking from ignorance.
On the other hand, Napsters and especially Gnutella have no other use in
life other than the wholesale bootlegging of MP3s and other software. Try to
further impresses us now by trying to defend those piracy devices.

I would suggest Mandrake 7.0 in one of the boxed versions. I say boxed
version because I believe that version comes with BootMagic/Partition
Magic which will make your re partitioning much easier. You can also
install directly from your Windows system.
http://www.linux-mandrake.com
Just make certain you write lilo to the root partition and not the mbr
(Master Boot Record). This way Bootmagic can point to it.
Make a Windows Startup diskette before you start so if you make an
error you can fix it.
fdisk /mbr will put re-write the mbr on your default boot drive
(usually c:) if you screw up. This is one reason to make the
startup/rescue disk.
Most important is to take it slow and read the dialog boxes.
Give it a try and see for yourself why Linux is gaining popularity
while other systems are losing.
Good Luck..

Take a look at the comments, alot of those gotos were actually

And dont forget, seriously, gotos (though ragged and dirty) are very
