Quicklist for migrating partitions:

• Download Knoppix LiveCD
• Burn and boot to said CD
• umount any partitions that you will be moving
• Use gParted to "Copy and Paste" partitions to intended destinations (yes, even across harddisks). Don't forget to create the swap fs!
• Take notes where each partition is and what it contains. Map to expected /dev/sdxx devices so you know what's where
• Shutdown and move around / disconnect harddisks if needed
• mount filesystems for /boot and /etc (may be on one filesystem
• edit /boot/grub/device.map file to reflect changed harddisk organisation (or whatever other hoops other boot managers make you jump through)
• reinstall GRUB (or other boot manager). something like this
  • find /boot/grub/stage1
  • Use output for next command  root (hdx,x)
  • Setup grub with setup (hd?) where ? is whatever disk (for MBR install) or where ? is whatever partition (for partition install).
• Edit /etc/fstab to point to correct partitions, delete obselete lines from the file.
• Reboot and test. Also prepare to reinstall windows, if needed... :(

Edit: this has ceased to be relavant.

One of the things missing from 64bit computing at this moment is the Adobe Flash player. This severely limits your ability to spend countless hours on Youtube and/or most of the embedded video sites. Turns out Adobe has been especially slow releasing a 64bit solution, so we'll have to make do with a trick. AFAIK the 32bit flash player is 'wrapped' in ndiswrapper and then installed into your 63 bit Firefox.

About three months ago, I started to jump ship from Windows to Linux. I detailed my progress in this blog post. Three months later, what's to add? What's changed? Well, it turns out most of my gripes were just a combination of n00bage, bad luck and misconfiguration. Read on for "The Migration: Revisited"

After some half-serious tryouts of linux I finally decided to switch for good. Windows crapped out on me one time too many, and I'm not talking about some small program crash, but total annihilation. Anyways, i've always had some Linux CD's lying around the house for testing purposes, some experience too, but unfortunately those installations were always short-lived and unusable due to missing features (dual monitor support and sound being the usual suspects. Hello, my name is cjdmax and I'm a Linux convert.
This post has been subsequently updated with more news since the switch
