Update, I went kind of nuts and now have a XP/Linux dual boot on my main machine, so that's two Linux machines in the house. The old machine has some flakey hardware, not the OS fault, and I couldn't stop messin' with Linux so I took the plunge and set up a dual boot system on my main. It went surprisingly easy but I kind of cheated and installed XP clean first, I really didn't feel like shrinking the old XP partition and then having to re-install anyway if it messed up. GRUB is up to the task and I have had zero complaints from XP.

I have Linux running all the time and only use XP, hehe, well I haven't spent much time in Windows lately but it will be there for games when I get the urge to play again.
