A few other things are on my mind these days... 

I'll get there, though. I've gotten XP the point where it allows me to
do all the usual evasions: Web browsing, login & check mail via putty,
Minesweep, WinAmp, but none of the productive work like debugging,
compiling, editing presentations, etc.

(I'm sure there are ways to get all the other stuff working too, but
overall, I was surprised at how much of the futzing you need to do
customize a Linux box, you actually *also* need to do on XP, and I
haven't even started on the hairy bits.)
