John,
RE: Your 1a.
After deleting the Linux partitions from Windows, using Acronis Disk Director,
removing GRUB was easy. I Booted from my XP install CD, went into Recovery
Console,
and did 'fixmbr'.

Are you sure its Windows "Permissions" blocking you (which makes no
sense)? If one program allocates the serial port then other programs are
blocked from using it. Often, even after closing one program, you must
reboot in order to make the serial port available to another program. I

You are correct, GRUB is difficult to remove, In the past, I have given
up and just format the hard drive and then re-load.
However, I recently discovered on the Ubuntu website a loader that loads

As a long-time Unix and Linux user, I have the following comments...
1. It is indeed possible to have a dual-boot machine running both WIN
(e.g. WIN 7 or WIN XP) and Linux.

The ubuntu Dual Boot installation works great.
Or you can run ubuntu off a CD.
No anti virus needed for ubuntu.

Ron,
I thought I'd try Linux, so I installed "Julia Mint" on my older (2.1 Celeron)

OK, I see there are a lot of happy Win 7 folks on this subject so I'll take a
minute and see
if any of you can help with this Win 7 issue.
I'm running Win 7 Home premium 64 bit. It works great for most things.

You can run anything that runs on XP on Win 7 by installing an XP virtual

and poke things.
Since NT, MS has suggested that it's not good to write to files under the
program
files directory, but didn't enforce it.
