BTW, thanks for all of the responses so far. If anyone is interested, the subject line comes from a famous quote of Winston Churchill, describing John Foster Dulles - a bull that brings his own china shop ;-)
Cheers,
Brian

The first two installs are not for the purpose of figuring out which scheme you want to use; they're just to get you familiar with the install process, kind of like how rebuilding your car's engine will give you a huge education, but rebuilding it thrice will give you an even better education.fwiw, i agree with this, but it also depends on how much time you want to put into learning this stuff. i think if you do it this way, you'll learn a lot more about how your computer and linux (and os's on your computer in general) work, but of course it's more of a time commitment as well (especially if you're doing a net install...).sean
