    I'm planning on dual booting with another OS when I get an XP disk, which one should I go with?
    I hate vista to all hell so i'm more leaning to Ubuntu, but i've never used any form of linux before.

    Ubuntu is pretty easy to get into, it's probably the most user-friendly form of Linux. I had no experience with Linux when I first got Ubuntu but I got the hang of it in no time. It's actually much more intuitive to use than Windows IMO. The community is really helpful too if you get stuck.

    Vista is still pretty much useless at this point, XP is better for most things.

    Don't spend any money on vista, nor spend any time on it. I recommend Fedora instead of ubuntu tho, but its more aimed at developers I think...
    Small note:
    Fedora is the distro. which most of the developers seem to use, so new software usually appears on Fedora first (same for wine updates) - but the installation process for each application is kinda hard because its from developers, for developers. At the end of the chain there is usually someone who makes a setup or better binary for the application so even Ubuntu users know how it works

    lol my brother got vista and it failed miserably. it has a user interface similar to that of a rather large rock.
