I read it is must harder to install/configure, but I'll give it a try. Or is there anyone to convince me that VMWare is better?
I'll erase my windows partition and merge it with gentoo's one. I'll end up with ~15Gb for gentoo... which seems to be fairly acceptable. In a future stage, I might convert my "share" partition from FAT32 to a linux like. By the way, I use reiserfs on my gentoo's partition. Will I have problems to resize it?
About the videoconference, I checked the forum and got aware of the cvs version of amsn which already supports it. :)
Yes, that was the main reason to have my personal files on other partition.
As I said, converting this partition will be the next step after removing windows and installing wine.

mmhmm... the webcam / video-conference stuff is not something I have
much expirience with either, sorry to say. As far as the other software
is concerned I would look at the crossover office fork of wine (assuming
that wine itself won't run it) or maybe some virtualization software
such as vmare.

Right. Keep in mind that with VMWare you can mount your linux home
directory as a SMB share.
Another advantage of a seperate /home is that you can reinstall the OS
without effecting your important personal data and settings. I realize
on your current system /mnt/share really handled some of that but
thought I'd mention it as well.
