Good man! DO IT!
My experience:
I first only ran a Linux (I forget the one) under win-95.
Then I braved unto making a partition that ran RedHat and dual booted to
windows.
Then I went to Debian, but kept XP on a partition.
Then I said goodbye, admitting I was a chicken.
At the end my only problem was Adobe Editor of pdf forms of the IRS. But
that can quite easily be done with xfig and some added packages.
.doc's are no problem, but multimedia files might be in some cases.
DO IT!
