Any Linux Users?

Is there any other Linux Users about on this forum or are we all Mac and Windows users? I dual-boot Windows and Linux, depending if I want to play any PC Games Other wise I use Linux in most cases

With Wubi, you don't have to setup a separate partition or anything. It just installs it as a file on your windows installation.

You can even uninstall Ubuntu afterwards using add/remove programs

I picked up an eeepc with linux on it to mess about with. Its a version based on debian designed for the eepc it has a very user friendly gui for all the basic functions you need with a net book.

Just need to sit back and do a bit of reading again to get some more stuff installed as I havent used linux in a long time.
