         Well in a mass of recent Linux installs to get City of Heroes working
    under Cedega I ended up pooching my Win2k install. The data is still there
    but it just won't boot in spite of all my recovery attempts. Of course I was
    working on CoH under Cedega so I could consider dropping Win2k from the
    machine. In the end swapping out my newer ATI card for my older nVidia card
    did the trick so I now can move that much closer to a Linux full time desktop.

         I'm currently looking at a 50Gb/10Gb split Win2k/Linux. I'd like to make
    that all Linux as I couldn't think of anything that I still used Windows for
    aside from gaming. If there was anything I have Codeweavers' Crossoffice to
    try to take care of it. Then my wife asked the one question that threw it all
    into doubt, "What about those videos you burn"?

         Er.... Ok. Under Ubuntu earlier today I was burning data ISOs with ease
    (1 Debian, 2 Progeny Debian) but I had never looked into burning videos.
    Anyone know of something simple like Nero which takes in videos, decodes 'em
    and spits em onto a CD? Right now I'm not seeing a lot of neat prospects. :(
    Does anyone know of any?

         On the other hand I did fiddle around with LVMs today so what I'm
    thinking of doing is flipping the above split to be 10Gb Windows/50Gb Linux.
    Just enough Windows to fall back on in case something pressing crops up. If I
    go a few months without it I can always nuke the parition and suck it into
    another one using LVM. :D
