I "dual boot" windows and gentoo. The quotes are there since my current machine (3 years old) has never been in windows post-installation. The advantage of having windows available occurs if you need dell maintenance. At least in the past they are much more comfortable with windows. allan PS Also ,I keep thinking I will install and play diablo, a game I played about 5 years ago :-)
