I watched the video and thats bad ass. I allways heard people talk about linux and I wanted to try it. Is this something anybody can try or do I need to be a computer whiz? I'm not too sharp on the partitioning thing but I do have a spare hhd I could put it on. Is most windows programs compatable (Sound card,Graffix card,etc)? Lastly why isn't linux prone to viruses?

Edit: I have a AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+. Do I have to use the 64 bit or will the 32 bit work with that processor?
