The Easy Ubuntu Switch

I am closer and closer to moving to Ubuntu at home. I have a spare computer running it, and have installed a few test apps like Gourmet. I’m just hesitant to put too much time in to it just yet, because if I make the switch with my main computer, I’ll have to redo a bunch of stuff.

So, I’m thinking of taking the “easy” way out.

Right now my computer has two drives in it - I think my C drive is like 40gig, that’s where WinXP and my programs reside. D drive is a 120gig I believe, and is where my data resides.

So… I have other hard drives laying around, I think I have a spare 10 or 20gig. I’ll take the 40 out, put in the 20 and install Ubuntu on that. If I screw something up, in theory, I can just put the other hard drive back in.

In theory.
