Wow. Why did I put this off? Got my 500G external hard drive (FAT for now) last week, moved my data over, downloaded Feisty Fawn image, tested it, ran it. KabAAM! Bye Windows!! Oh wait, hello again. As soon as I installed Ubuntu, with no hitches (wireless was already working and my external hard drive, USB and smart card reader were all working) I installed VirtualBox, put XP on it so I could install Adobe CS. I wish there was a way around this. ALAS! Anyway, it works good so who cares?
