Notes
Pretty new to Linux. I've toyed around with SUSE, CentOS and Mandrake, but not achieved very much. I've worked with Windows since 3.1, so switching is a big change. Currently running Ubuntu Feisty and "Vistafied" XP in dual-boot.
Successfully running WoW, MS Office 2003, Visio 2003, Project 2003 and Adobe CS3 (Dreamweaver and Fireworks) on Codeweaver.
