I have been working with Fedora Core 3 for the past month. My new years resolution was to learn Linux. So far, so good.
I created a dual-boot Fedora / Windows XP. I am now seriously considering going completely 100% Linux and dumping my Windows partition entirely.
The question is - can you live completely without Windows, or do you sooner or later have to resort to Windows again?

You've had lots of good responses to your question, Pete. The consensus is,
Tchnically - Yes! Practically, it depends on the user and the user's environment. For your immediate concern - whether or not to dump an existing Windows XP partition - I suggest that you consider that partition as close to zero cost insurance. The XP license is a sunk cost, your existing applications are functional if needed, and your costs at the margin are disk storage space. If you need/want more harddisk space, 40G - 80G hard drives are available at nominal cost.
