Hey Woolio,
Thanks for the intro to Verilog. I don't know jack about hardware. If I were to get into studying it... Like if I was going to build my own shaping machine... I'm sure I would probably use it yeah? What do you do for work. More specifically. How can you come to Hawaii to help me?

I design surfboards with CAD. I need to finish automating the system. Database integration with the CAD tool outputs a cut file sent to a CNC router. Extensive testing with physical tools are needed to test the acuracy of the cutting machine. The calculus and hydro dynamics that go into the shapes. Then there is the new design technology and patent problems that are associated. So, you need to be a lawyer. Then there's chemical compostion and the need for "greener" materials and shaping them. The pay blows. Best part of the job... testing the surfboards in warm water and banging the hottest chicks in the world here in Hawaii. Priceless. Job security = 0. You never go to work if you love your job.
Get a KVM switch and another box of hardware. This way, while you are pulling your hair out dealing with Linux for the first time, you can google your needs on your windows machine and multi task. You can also download all the software you need for your Linux machine on to your windows box. It's really a no brainer. The dual boot promotion from the Linux community is killing the movement. It's OK to tell people that they will need to spend some more money on hardware! If you really want to make the move to Linux (which you should) get nice fast hardware for your new Linux machine. You're going to have to reboot 432 million times (if you are lucky).
I'll someday make a GPL guide to using computers. The above is step 1.
Ncomputing has an excellent Ultra Thin Client (ncomputing.com L200). Use this dummy terminal to connect to the windows terminal server which holds your apps. Then put the dummy terminal on a KVM switch with your Linux machine. End of story.
