Well, roughly. But it's really hard to simplify it like this. The original list has a lot of if's for a reason -- it really depends a lot on the setup I choose, and thus what workarounds I can apply...

Most of them. Dual-booting is really too much pain for all but very sporadic use cases. -antrik-
