I'm installing Ubuntu now. Bye bye Gentoo :'(
Ooh, and bye bye Windows, I hope! 
Well, that worked, I'm in Ubuntu now. It even set up Grub to boot my Windows install on my secondary drive (though I haven't tried booting to it yet). Let's see how this goes... Oh, and fonts on my web site are weird.
Update: As expected, my Windows install wouldn't boot given the settings Ubuntu provided. But I was smart and saved my grub settings from my Gentoo install that I'd already spent time figuring out. They are:
#dual boot with Windows
title=Windows
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I saved my fstab too 
, so I hope to get my Windows partitions mounting in Ubuntu. I have to get all my Windows networking stuff working too, including file shares and our shared printer.
If I can start using Linux as my main OS, things I'll miss include: Trillian, Blitzin, and K9. K9 I'll really miss until my host gets their mail servers consolidated and gives us all server-side DSPAM (can't wait). If you're on Windows I'd strongly recommend trying K9 for spam filtering. I'll also miss wikidPad and QuickPad.
To do:
- get NVidia-specific drivers working
- get Windows shares/printer working (update: damn, this didn't work. What now? Update: worked after a reboot -- even mount -a didn't work)
- install Thunderbird, transfer e-mail from Windows drive
- transfer "my documents" (i.e. home) directory from Windows to Linux drive
- transfer my Windows desktop to somewhere on my Linux drive
- transfer any bookmarks from Firefox
- figure out what to do for spam filtering in Linux
- see if there's any IM client I can use besides Gaim
- does my sound work?
