I feel like I'll miss Windows now... so I'll try dual-boot!

But question, is there a way to change the partition size on my hard drive so I can make two separate drives (C and D drives)? The only way I could think of is by using my Windows installation CD and then clearing the entire harddrive and making two partitions then. I just want to go through that hassle if I can avoid it. But I'm very interested in using Ubuntu now.

UBUNTU installer will give you option to resize partition i guess.

Or you could try Mandriva.
