this tutorial is awesome! I actually just put Ubuntu on one of my empty internal HDD's last night and it's pretty kool. This was my first experience w/ a linux based PC, it's definitely not noob friendly like windows haha. First thing that came to mind was Mac when I saw the machine boot up lol. I would like to give Red Hat a try as well, so i will probably just create a VM for it | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Box OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition @ 4.1Ghz Motherboard ECS Elite Group IC780M-A V2.0 Memory 8GB Crucial DDR2 PC5300 Graphics Card Asus Radeon HD 5450 Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Dual Monitor Setup Keyboard Logitech...

Try Mint. That will probably alienate you less. http://linuxmint.com/ | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to 2.5GHz Quad Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse terrible devices, who wants them Hard Drives 5x HDD, 2x SSD, 6x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

I just should find the time and update it, new versions of both VirtualBox and Ubuntu are out and the tut a bit outdated. +1.
Linux mint is a good choice for Linux beginners and more advanced users alike who feel Ubuntu is not for them.
