Yaa thats right. Create a new partition and get started on Linux. You can boot Windows whenever you need Windows Games or Apps that are not available on Linux.

(posted this on another topic as well)Concidentally, I just installed Ubuntu on my work PC today, and I'm loving it.Email, web, chat, development works like a beauty. Even doing "remote desktop" to a Windows PC works like charm...So I plan to work on Ubuntu mostly and only boot into Windows to do testing when required...

how is ktorrent?how much ram is reqd to run ubuntu?(as linux has high graphix)

 

[vishalrao]

I haven't used KDE/ktorrent lately.For Ubuntu I would say 256 MB RAM should be the minimum, 512 recommended.
