Thank you all so much! The only thing that I'm worried about right now is if my Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will run smoothly or even at all... Hmm, dual booting seems to be the win here!
I've had many issues since I switched to Windows 7 from XP, mainly with my connection (I've updated drivers etc but it's still screwed up) not being functional at startup and having me reboot the connection all together. This is one of the reasons I want to switch to Linux. Another one is this, and it's going to sound silly, but I want to be able to style my desktop easily and so far I don't think that can be done in Windows 7. Past all the "Mac OSX STYLE THEME" there is nothing.
This was posted on the WoWAce forums, and it got me thinking in the first place. This just looks terrific!

However, I wouldn't switch only because of looks - but it does play in. I will hopefully make the switch tomorrow if CoD: MW2 turns out to run on Linux!
