Now now Lennart!

   I thought the same thing might be necesary when I first set out to 
dual-boot Linux... Some of us are still relatively new to Linux and are 
still wrapping our heads around it's (wounderful) girth. :) Keith though 
might not wanted to have spoken with such authority though before 
knowing for sure.

Ciao all!
