Another thought on the VM front - rather than running Windows in a Ubuntu VM, maybe start with running Ubuntu in a Windows VM - so you've got everything else familiar, and you can play with Ubuntu more leisurely.
Of course, that also makes it easier to ignore/forget, since you're less immersed, but after a while you should hopefully be comfortable enough to switch more fully. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
