1. My advice.....
Don't switch all at once.

Make a new partition and install Linux to that.

Then you'll have a dual boot system.

You can play with Linux to your heart's content and still reboot into windows if you need to.

Regardless of what people say, there is a considerable learning curve to Linux and you won't feel comfortable with it immediately.

Some things are actually MORE difficult to do in Linux than Windows (DVD authoring being one of them).

So do the best of both worlds.

Also, use Firefox on Windows, run ad aware and spybot, and 99 percent of your malware/spyware issues will go away.
