Yeah, but i've heard GIMP for windoze is a little buggy. ;p

But if you did want to install linux, it would be good to download a partition edittor an make room for a nice journaled filesystem, like ReiserFS, ext3, etc. Anyway, linux can read and write NTFS from NT 4.0, but Microsoft threw a new version of NTFS when win2k came out, and i think linux can only read it (although it's been a while, so i don't know..)
