yea, i dual boot with windows. On my laptop I use it just to try something differnt every now and then, but on my real computer i still use windows as primary just cuz i know how to trouble shoot better with it.
But it is fun to mess around with linux.

Welcome to the other side.
Most things in Linux are based on KISS(keep it simple stupid), so thats maybe why you think things are so simple it seems. Next you'll have to try out SuSE 10.1 and try out the 3d desktop, its my favorite right now.
