Come to Warpstock and see it for real.  I run WinXP, Ubuntu, and eCS on 
my T61.  I use the IBM Boot Manager and install GRUB into the Ubuntu 
partition.

I used to have Kubuntu, but I got so frustrated dealing the KDE4 that I 
finally gave up and went to Ubuntu.  The KDE folks seem to be trying to 
make it be more and more like Windoze (we know best type of thing), and 
I finally gave up on it.
