Good Morning All, I have two desktop computers. I currently have one 
setup with Vista (spit spit - sorry, had to get the bad taste out of my 
mouth) and the other has Ubuntu 8.04. When I have convinced myself that 
I no longer need Vista I will set that machine up as Linux and retire 
the other except for testing things. My question is, will I be able to 
install Linux on my box that is currently Vista and then transfer my 
"home" to that box so I don't have to set everything up again? The other 
option would be to set a duel boot to Vista now and then just remove 
vista, clean up Grub and resize the Ubuntu partitions when I no longer 
need Vista.  Which would be the better approach?
Thanks for the Help.
See Ya All Tonight.
