If you are going to dual boot Vista with Linux, M$ has a command line tool that makes it very complicated. You have to mess with Vista's Boot Configuration Data. After doing a little (well ok, a lot) research, I found a couple of free tools that make dual booting with Vista a LOT easier. EasyBCD is one of them at: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 The other one is VistaBootPRO at: http://www.vistabootpro.org/ I think I like the KDE desktop in some of the Linux distributions better because it is more like Windows. I have 16 Linux's dual booting with Windows 2000 Pro working ok with GRUB bootloader, but I have not picked which one is what I want to use mostly. Hope this helps.
