Hello! Question...
Jenda:
The Ubuntu partition tool sliced up my friend's NTFS sans probleme... And Windows still runs nopro too.
But still - BACKUP YOUR DATA...
muzzy:
AFAIK photoshop under WINE has compatibility problems. I wouldn't use it. Windows is far better choice if your needs are gaming and graphics.
I'd recommend getting some linux livecd to begin with, and only make the transition when you know you want to do it. The livecd approach doesn't need installation, and doesn't thus fuck up NTFS. It won't be able to write to NTFS partitions safely however, unless you use a livecd with the Captive NTFS.SYS hack to use windows's own drivers to work the NTFS volume.
Jumping blindly to linux doesn't make anything better, you're better off making informed choices, and you can become more informed, safely, by trying with a livecd first. Or perhaps even multiple different livecd distributions...
Aloone_Jonez:
I agree, I jumped into Linux without thinking and I had a bad experience with it. This is a bad idea if you don't make an informed decision you could end up with the opinion that Linux sucks and be put off for life like some people I know have.
Luckily I haven't been completely put off Linux as I've realized that Linux can be vary variable, while one distribution might be shit another might be really good.
