Linux install is a trivial task, far easier than a Windows install,
particularly for a dual boot. I write this on a brand new (November)
Samsung X60 running Ubuntu 6.1, and everything works. Sound, firewire,
wireless, dvd burner, dual monitor support, bluetooth, memory stick
reader, suspend and hibernate. And all worked at installation bar the
fancy graphics which needed the latest driver from ATI installing.
Ok, I admit to not having checked the TV-out ;-).
The partitioning is only a gotcha if the term is meaningless to you...
But that is not a failing of the operating system - if you wanted to
dual boot Windows Vista with Windows XP you would have a similar
challenge on your hands.
