Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Since you have a spare HD
why don't you buy a tray (should cost you about $5-10 on ebay) and use the old FDD for Linux.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
New I'm looking into that, too. :-)
There seem to be UltraBay adapters for hard drives that would make the swapping even easier, but it's not clear that it's trivial to boot from one.

I'm trying to resist getting a (previous generation) MacBook Pro, though.

Too many toys, not enough time... :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New On OSX
It's *nix Done Right. It's got the pretty interface and Everything Just Works. But if you need/want it, there's the Terminal application that allows you full command-line access a la the Unices.

New Thanks for the pointer!
I've had good luck with some eBay stuff from China, but some other stuff never showed up (but I did get a refund). I'll keep it in mind.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Couple more bucks
and get it from the US
