need any help with linux commands...:P

I used some distro for a while, and generally found it to be a little less useful than windows. It's fine to be free, organised and stable, but what good is that if you're not compatible with 95% of the market?borris_1

WINE, in my experience, does have its issues. I was impressed, however, when I got Mountain of Faith to work on it. The other side of the argument, of course, is that in Windows, you could just install it, and not have to dive through the WINE hoop.

Ubuntu's free programs are great, no doubt. I did consider switching. But every now and then, I just want to do one thing in Ubuntu which requires lengthy paths.

In Windows, after using it since 98, I've gotten used to it (as I'm sure, you have also.) I find it very difficult to make a mistake in Windows now, and where one does occure, it's usually quite easy to fix. After service pack 2, XP is tip-tip.

Oh, absolutely. Moreover, I actually find it quite fun working with a new OS. Hell, I'll probably end up slamming my Ubuntu disk in in a few weeks. But, alas, I was never able to get Ubuntu working at what, I imagine, is 100% capacity.

ya i use linux but im very frustrated with it. i have about 95% of it working...the only problem is that i cant get sound, ive tried everything on the ubuntu forums and still no luck(damn 64-bit version...why did i have to get you). i was just thinking of uninstalling it just for the simplicity of windowserikgergal

Yeah, everything will already be formatted properly. Just reinstall over that partition and assign the same swap partition to the new installation. No need to re-partition anything.
