Good luck with that... I'd rather have my important data safe that would enable me to live in my home than have fun and have to move out in the end... either that or have to start all over again.
I plan on getting two computers here soon, a cruddy old 1.7ghz celeron for a workstation, and an amd3200+ system for gaming.
it's really simple, put linux on the 1.7ghz, get a big hard drive for it, use it as your storage system for files you care about, then put WinXP on the 3200+ and use it for gaming.
if the 3200+ gets a virus, I just format and reinstall my games, no biggie. (windows systems that do nothing but play games are less prone to viruses anyway.)
I wont bend a finger towards playing games on linux, just not worth my time, i'd rather have two computers than go through that crap.
Bad compatibility is all that I don't like about linux, but as a workstation, it's god.
