I have 2 HDD's now. a 200 gig with XP + an 80 gig spare. If I get an 80 gig SATA as I plan to do to run Linux, can I throw extra files on the 80 gig slave as backup? The difference is, they just wouldn't open if I tried to open them in XP, right?
Also - I'm kind of a rookie with linux. In fact, I've never used it, but I'm going to be studying it this year and I figured I'd pick it up and get acquianted with it. With Windows, I'm very familiar with it, and I understand the whole lineup - 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, etc. What's it like with Linux? What's the latest version? Where do I get it? Is NewEgg a good place to order it since I'll already be ordering the HDD to run Linux from there?
Only thing I can see being a pain is the fact that GTA San Andreas won't be able to run in Linux. Anybody ever run into this?
