On Linux, I use Adobe Reader for some of my work flow, but I have stayed with the version 7 as version 8 hangs because it think I have too many fonts. Something maybe to with having LaTeX installed on Ubuntu.

I even changed my main partition today, shrinking it to make room for Linux partition. However, I need solid reason for installing it. Day to day Windows Vista is running fine overall, and does everything I throw at it, pretty much. I am very close to installing Fedora 9, yes.

Did I get it right? You are going to install Linux? I love Linux Live CDs/DVDs since my first experience with on of them (something like 4 years ago).
