I kept my machine as a dual boot for a while. I really like Linux, but you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time fussing with it. There was a part of me that loved fussing with it...but then I'd need something done in a hurry, and I didn't know how, and I had to climb up that learning curve one more time.
Is it pretty easy to set up a dual boot? I was going to set up a partition on a hard drive with linux, but haven't looked into what was involved with doing that. I'm thinking that I only need to set aside a few GBs on the hard drive for linux?
