Arrgh!!! I hate Windows and I hate M$

. Quad rig XP install went haywire today and ended up having to re-start XP. With all the drivers and set-up of the clients/rivatuner/and shortcuts, it took about 2 hrs in all. I lost about 6 hrs folding on that rig(5000 ppd). I am aiming for a quad GPU2 Linux rig by months end. Anyone handy with Linux?
