Just finished spending much of the weekend completely reinstalling my system. Again.
I now have a dual-boot system with Ubuntu 9.04 as the primary OS, and WinXP as an option (but no network configured on WinXP). I was quite close to getting everything I needed running on Ubuntu, but with an ATI graphics card, the support for 3D graphics just isn't quite there yet. Maybe later this summer.
Meanwhile, XP is not allowed to talk to any networks. (I'll be physically turning off the wireless when I boot to XP). This isn't a perfect solution, as malware can still spread through USB storage devices, but if I have to re-install XP again, no major loss, as my "real" work will almost entirely be done on Linux.
