I think I might just go ahead and put linux on my laptop and see how I like it

Nevermind, too scared of the non click-and-go stuff

You can try it out in a virtual machine first if you are worried about it. But just to let you know, the first time I installed Ubuntu in 2010 I don't think I ever had to use the terminal.

I really cannot do that, for the reason I don't have enough RAM in either of my computers to support it. Telling me to get more RAM, I have to say my grandmother says she is dead broke. I do plan on asking for 8GB of RAM for her desktop on my birthday (if her desktop can handle it).

Ubuntu only requires 512mb of RAM and some modern distributions can function with 128mb's of RAM. Excuses... tsk

On christmas I am going to ask for some IDE(PATA)/SATA Adapters so I can put my old laptop HDD's in my desktop, then I will probably put ubuntu onto some of those hard drives, maybe.

Once you get windows up and running you can put on VirtualBox or some other VM host and then allocate whatever space you want to whatever OSes you want in virtual machines.

Correct, but I've been updating my computers for 9 hours, so I might do that next week :/
