You can create an image of your current installation and then ghost it onto the new harddrive. You will need something like Powerquests Drive Image or Norton Ghost to do this. Just back up to CD(s).

As far as Linux goes, I am a newbie to the stuff, but I've found Redhat to be very easy to install and use. As far as I know, Mandrake is similarly easy.

Write your questions down on the back of a $20 dollar bill and send them to me.

Redhat with the new Ximian Desktop 2. That's a great combo.
