I used to have my system set up to dual boot,it worked fine but I had only one computer. At the time I couldn't get on the internet to save my life in Linux so I was always rebooting to get into windows the rebooting to get back into Linux, I you ever want to get rid of the Linux partition, the best way I found was to use the Linux Fdisk program, because The dos Fdisk doesnt know What To do with linux partition. Now I have a seperate Win95 Machine and Linux Desktop/File server/webserver/Samba server at home, So I can study The networking and server potentials of linux. Sorry Don't know anything about the word perfect question.
