Won't need to be constantly looking at -HOWTO files. I mean you should have a clue what you are doing before you install the os. Don't just do it to blend in. That is the biggest mistake you can do. If you don't know what in the hell you are doing in windows, What makes you think you can do any better out of it. :P

I think ive kernel paniced 3 times in 6 years btw.. that really is pretty good stats for any o/s.
